The Dell is of Better Spec as it has a dual core processor while the Fujitsu has a single Core processor.

The Celeron processors have always be aimed at the value market. Basically they are the cheaper processors.

I dont personally rate them that much, others may do.

___________________ Information from Which? May 2007 _______________

Acer came top in survey on reliability (not requiring a repair since 2003) with a score of 91% (Dell scored 85%)

In my book this means good build quality, perhaps not the industry definition but from a user perspective it's what matters.

I don't have any connection with, or have experience of Acer, just tyring to pass along some useful information.

hmmm were those figures swayed maybe by machines not being repaired and being replaced instead?

TBH stats can be used to prove almost anything, where were these results from, what price range? etc etc

From my own experiences I've seen a large failure/problem rate with acer products and if you look here this poor guy had 2 out of 3 fail

Just thought i would let you know that she has just ordered the dell 1, she changed the battery to the 6 cell 1 for an extra £11 i think, so all in all she got a great deal, on behalf of my friend thank you for all your help.
