    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.

    You need to change the warranty from 3 years to 1 year which will reduce the price :D

    If i was buying it i would only opt for Xp. I would have the processor as AMD® Athlon 64 X2 Mobile Technology TK55 and i would have the battery as 6 cell Lithium-Ion Battery Works out at £280 delivered .

    what do people think? better with xp or vista on the basic machine?
    having heard terrible things about vista, i would stick with XP - if it ain't broke, don't fix it! ;)

    Hi, can anyone do me a huge favour? regarding the dell laptop for £233...as you know the offer of free delivery has ended...however when i spoke to the dell sales guy...and told him a "friend" had bought hers for £233 inc delivery...he told me he's be able to do something about the delivery charge...but only if i was able to give the postcode and order number of my "friend" who'd bought theres at the spiecial offer price...if anyone who has already purchased a Dell (305-N1210007 - Best price £233.82 Delivered or *less.
    Vostro- 1000 NB(N1210007) laptop, then i'd be very gratefull...
