If you are sure that is that exact model, then it's good for the price..

The kids have taken the lap top...lol

my receipt says

Dell M501R - £249

i've just had a look on the tesco website and this has come up

so there are different ones.

Oh worried now.................

All depends on what you want the Laptop for. Would assume at £249 it was on special offer and probably the basic model

£250 is pretty decent for any laptop to be honest, the technology they contain is pretty amazing. But at that price, it will be the bare minimum of laptop, don't expect it to compete with a £1200 one!
