Dell Inspiron Laptop Bargains (merged threads) [CLOSED]

Anyone buying the 1150, note when customizing that you have a choice of AC adapters (neither costing extra money). It appears that the 65W AC Adapter is the right one if you're going for a Celeron processor, while the 90W Power Cord is for if you've chosen Pentium 4. I only found this out through the "Learn More" pop-up. (Sorry if it's obvious to those of you who are more technically minded!)

Does anyone know if Dell will only sell this item to you if you received the emailed ad?

Blondie64, I'm not following, what did you re-order online for £57.50 less? The 1150 with 2.6GHz processor and cdrw combo? If so, how? I've just gone back to the site now and both of those features are still showing as upgrades that you have to pay extra for.

Has anyone found the code to add a dvd rw to the 1150 ? As far as I can see the 1000 doesnt have this option whereas the 1150 does, but where and how ?

The coupon doesn't seem to be working now.

If you call Dell Sales, they should be able to add DVD-RW. On March Ins 1150 came with DVD-RW.

Im not sure if this ones already been posted but its pretty good value, I would add the CDRW option for £481 rather then the DVD Rom for £445
