    I think your asking if the 1150 has a centrino processor and I'm pretty certain that it doesn't.

    To connect it to a wireless network you will need a card for you PC and router, the type of which depends on the type of broadband you have).

    See the other thread about the deals that PCWorld are doing on both Belkin routers and cards.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks Candystore,

    You're right in saying it doesn't have the centrino processor and I didn't get a wireless pc card built in so I figure that the Linksys router and pc card together will do the job nicely,

    Thanks again!

    My 1150 P4 2.8 (No cd-rw) is being prepared for shipment!

    Maybe they are waiting for stock of the cd-rw? Might be worth asking them what they are waiting for.

    Has now been shipped and is due this Thursday!

    "Weight 17 Kgs" - hopefully most of that's the printer!

    Hey,

    Not sure if this has been posted already but i found a very cheap dell laptop and thought id bring it to your attention.

    The spec is as follows:

    Inspiron 1150

    Processor Mobile Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor (2.80GHz) + 15" XGA
    Operating System Microsoft® Windows® XP Home SP2
    Memory 1024MB 266MHz DDR RAM (2 x512 MB)
    Keyboard Dell Keyboard with Touchpad
    Hard Drive 60GB (5400RPM) IDE Hard Drive
    Modem Internal 56K v.92 Capable Fax Modem 6787
    CD ROM/DVD ROM Fixed Internal 8 x DVD Drive with Software
    Microsoft Application Software Microsoft® Works 7.0 9106
    Support Service 1 Year European Collect and Return Service
    Security Software No Security Subscription 11904
    Power Supply AC Adapter D-Series 90W Power Cord
    Dell Picture Studio Dell Picture Studio - Photo Album Standard (60 Day Trial)
    Paint Shop Dell Picture Studio - Paint Shop Pro 8.0 (60 Day Trial)
    Primary Battery 8 Cell 65WHr LI-ION Primary Battery
    Dell Media Experience Dell Media Experience 3.0 Basic- Inspiron


    The laptop also comes with a Dell All in one printer 922 for free. The final price for this laptop is £445 including VAT and delivery. However if you flog the printer on ebay for about £50 the printer becomes only £395 approx.

    Hope this helps someone,

    it has already been posted in the Current Dell Inspiron bargains thread so I will merge this post with that thread. Also, your title is misleading as the item actually costs £445 to buy, not £395 - what you might be able to sell part of it for afterwards is not relevant to the price you have to pay :rolleyes:

  • I ordered an Inspiron 1000 with extras and an Inspiron 6000 with free Printer and Delivery. It all arrived yesterday, very quickly from order-delivery. I can say I am very, very pleased with the Insp 6000 and my son is happy with his 1000.

    For 2 laptops a printer and 1 delivery charge I thought it was very reasonably priced totalling ... £890.44

    My order status says

    13/04/05 09:51 COVENTRY ORDER DISPATCHED FROM HUB.

    But my ETA is tomorrow.

    Do you think it could come today or does it go somewhere else after the coventry hub? I live 150 miles from Coventry.
