Dell £339 Laptop 15.4" widescreen, wireless, DVDRW (NOW GONE - that's all folks!)

Yeah, new deal under the same code is £30 more expensive, but includes a 60Gb hard disk compared to 40Gb (not sure whether or not that's worth £30).

Works out as:
+ £60 no longer includes free shipping
- £30.53 special "Save £30 or £50"

I got my 'your order has been shipped' e-mail yesterday afternoon, and I have received it today, via UPS! Excellent service! Just finished setting it up - I am so excited (sad, isn't it!). If you follow the link to UPS it will tell you whereabouts your laptop is.

Thanks again, Sid Harper!

Great idea, but when I tried it it removed Mcafee and that's it -
all the other cr*p is still there..

It's best to just reinstall from scratch. Email dell and ask them for the windows xp home sp2 cd + any other cds required. They are sending me the whole lot of cds for free.

I just got mine, on it now. It is a really nice laptop and the 15.4" screen feels really big. It picked up my wireless network straight away. Only bad points are the ridiculous amount of junk dell pre-loads and the fan keeps coming on for some unknown reason. I am going to do a fresh install of xp pro sp2 i think.
