New Laptop - Worth Considering?

Seen a laptop on Dell (Would post link - Site rules :rolleyes:) - Looks like a good deal
Inspiron 1545 (N0054510)
P8600 (2.4Ghz, 3mb, 1066Mhz)
4Gb Ram, 500Gb HDD
Vista 64 bit (With W7 Upgrade)
4 Yr Warranty
Cost £947
Discount £358.75
Final Cost £608 inc Delivery

Haven't been on the dell website too often - Do they have deals like this all the time or should I think about it seriously?

    oooft for that price i say go for it :) you won't get that much more of a discount.

    Dell's are a nice solid build to - so worth the extra cash.

    Anyone else?

    I thought it looked like a pretty decent spec for the money - Certainly processor wise its one of the best I've seen.

    Did I see a "thank you" in there?
    No. So I wont bother. Thanks for the invitation to post though. :beer:
  • its worth it if you need the spec to do what you need
    Mortgage £120K, monthly overpayment £600, 18 years and £100K saved

    For a laptop it looks ok. 4 year waranty too? - not bad!

    Nothing looses money as fas as a high end piece of technology, as there is something bigger and better around the corner

    There's always one :rolleyes:

    Didn't realise this site was a Thank you fest.
    If everyone gets a thanks for whatever they post how can you judge who's a knowledgeable poster and who isn't.

    Pointless response.

    Appreciate those who took the time to read or post in the thread (Apart from Keith), but I don't see the point in thanking everyone by clicking a button.

    Not asking you to press a button.

    I just thought common courtesy would have generated a response something like...
