Advice on Dell Inspiron 1501 Laptop for £349, January deal Please.

Hi,
I am currently on the lookout for a good deal on a basic laptop to send emails and surf the internet.

I see that Dell are offering a £349 incl.VAT & Shipping deal on the following;

Dell Inspiron 1501.
Mobile AMD Sempron Processor 3500+
Genuine Windows XP Home Edition
512MB 533MHz DDR SDRAM
60GB (5400rpm) Harddrive.

Until 31/1/07 offer also includes Free 36 month Mcafee Security Center.

This is available through their HOME January 2007 deals.

I appreciate that it does not have a dvd+/-rw drive but I would not use this anyway.

I also read some reports about an acer for £379 from tesco and just wonder what my best option would be, bearing in mind that I would use the McAfee that is up for grabs with the Dell.:rolleyes:

Any relevant advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
