Basic Dell Vostro 1000 Notebook Just 233 Inc Delivery

loobylou2

Just spotted this on UKHOT DEALS and thought seemed like a bargain. Costs 199 but 233 with delivery and you can get 5% Quidco as well.Also you can choose whether or not to have XP or Vista on it. Sorry I can't give more information as I'm not a techie and just wanted a basic laptop for myself but hope this helps somebody!!!

what do people think? better with xp or vista on the basic machine?

XP definately - spec not high enough for vista really.
Thanks OP - just ordered one.

absolute bargain shame my (Dell P4 1.6 512mb) is still running along fine!

else i was so tempted!

Spec is high enough for Vista Home Basic. I've see this version run fine with a slower Sempron processor and the same memory.

am i being stupid, or am i missing something, as i just clicked on the link in hkud, and it now says the price is £291.00, and that is with only 1024mb ram memory, and 80gb harddrive, and sempron processor, how did you get those specs up for that price, Dave.

sorry, that was not the same laptop, just used it as an example and highlighted the USb ports

I should have made that clear
