    [FONT=&quot]this system has probably been discussed earlier in the thread but I feel it warrants another mention

    £410.07 or less buys Dell Inspiron 1501 Laptop AMD dualcore, 2gig, 120Gb, dvdrw, ati 256mb graphics card[/FONT]

    Product code 305-N03153a
    AMD® Turion 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL56
    Genuine Windows Vista Home Basic - English
    15.4" Wide Screen XGA TFT Display: 1280x800
    2048MB 533MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM (2x1024)
    120GB (5,400 rpm) Hard Drive
    Fixed Internal 8X DVD+/-RW Drive including Software
    ATI Radeon® Xpress 1150 256MB HyperMemory
    4 Cell 29WHr Primary battery
    56.6k V.92 Capable Internal Modem & Adapter
    Dell Wireless 1390 802.11b/g Mini-PCI Card (for AMD Processors)

    I upgraded the battery and bought 1 last night for £421.83 not sure if this is the best of these systems it does have 2gb RAM and the best Turion Proccesor.
    This may not be the best system dont take my word as knowledgable

    here is the link for anybody thats interested http://configure.euro.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?b=&c=uk&cs=ukdhs1&l=en&oc=N03153a

    Would it be extra to get Miscosoft Word as well - thanks
    Yes it would be a LOT more expensive, and I certainly wouldn't recommend buying it from Dell, either. Is there any reason that it has to be MS Word, or would Open Office suffice, which is free from http://www.openoffice.org/?

    MS Works includes a word processor, too, but presumably you have a reason for specifically wanting MS Word
    Thanks to all who post constructively.

    I had a call from delivery people today, one Friday pm arriving Wednesday am. Ordered another Saturday so i wonder if they'll be back with that on Thursday. I just hope my crabby daughter likes her surprise...and keeps her hands off my desktop!

    DD needs it for homework - I did download Open office on our old dell but is not the same according to my daughter so throws me off my PC when she needs to do homework.

    Use Quidco to connect to the Dell website.

    On the left-hand side under "Dell Offers" is "shop by e-value code", click on it.

    Enter 100 in the left-hand box, n03153 in the right-hand box.

    Downgrade the warranty and you're there?
    Thanks ordred one.:j
    thanks OP.
