    It states on the site that anyone can buy a business Dell, but some of the T&C's are different.
    Move along, nothing to see.
  • Yep. I've just bought one of the Dell Vostro Laptops which are business models.

    I'm a student at uni and use it for non-business purposes.

    What are you going to use the PC for? The more details the better.

    Komplett do some good deals too. Their configurations come with plenty of choice to suit one's needs & budget. Click on the links to the left to see more PCs. G

    I'd suggest this Vostro 200 MT for £353 (or ~£340 after 5% Quidco cashback). Reduce the Hardware Support to 'Base Warranty....' to get it at that price. Change to XP if you prefer it over Vista for no extra cost.

    If you frequently need to have 2 documents opened side-by-side, I'd recommend to get the excellent 22" TFT upgrade for £65 extra. Btw, this will work on a 19" widescreen too, but it's a tight fit/view needs to be scaled down a bit.

    As you'll be listening to music, a 2.1 speaker set will do nicely - an adequate one costing between £20 -30 from Amazon. G

    P.S. For PCs at this price point, Dells offer the best value
