Dell Inspiron 1300 £339 - ANY GOOD? Does it have WPA security?

I've just looked on the Dell website and I see they have a general purpose laptop Inspiron 1300 for £339 if you buy with 90 day cover. Can anyone tell me if they are OK and also does the internal wireless card support WPA security?

Yes, the internal card does support WPA encryption.

I can confirm that. I set my bothers up and all I had to do to connect it to my wi-fi network with wpa was to right click the taskbar icon, select "View Available Wireless Networks", select my wi-fi network from the list, and then paste the very long wpa key twice into the prompt box. Thereafter it connected automatically on boot up. The connection was very impressive with no drop-outs, a good signal and quick reconnection each time the laptop started up.
