    Is this set up for wireless internet use - if not how much to upgrade.

    Again, the word a lot of people are using for the £341 deal is 'WAS'. It WAS a good deal you CAN'T get it now. Talk about living in the past trademark!

    I'm not saying i'm the best deal finder merely trying to get the point across that there is no point banging on about a deal thats OVER.

    Tomorrows deal might be better, yesterdays might have been better but this is the deal thats available NOW!!

    John, i don't think there is the option on the Dell website to add a wireless card, but you can pick one up on Amazon or somewhere like that. I think they are £35+. Also if you need a wireless router Amazon do a catchily titled 'Netgear DG834GT 108Mbps Wireless ADSL Modem Router with 4-port 10/100 switch' for £87.99 that comes with a FREE wireless card worth £44.99. Maybe not the best deal out there but its a starting point...

    I've used the Netgear wireless router with no problems at all.

    pgilc1 ... living in the past ???? one week ago my friend .... i have to be careful here as it obvious your the type to fly off on one if i upset you

    but heh thanks for your dell tip ... i would never have thought of going to the dell site to look for a cheap laptop , im so grateful to you for such a wonderful find , a laptop thats more expensive than last week but is now £100 off

    your the greatest .......

    also you can get the £341 now .. and less ... just ask for the discount over the phone , i do it all of the time

    right back to my life now ..... id say the same to you pgilc1 but i doubt you have one by the way youve been upset that i dare mention your super find isnt actually very good at all .

    by the way i will let you know when i buy my sub £300 dell laptop ....

    Nah, the one that ended 17/8 was advertised as Celeron M 350 1.3 GHz 30GB, that was really from 2 weeks ago as the new deals are out today.

    dell are obvioulsy playing with the product and prices here , possibly to confuse , just had a look at a flyer ive got from dell , and it was a celeron m 350 , but its got a 40 g hard drive for £341

    and why £341 .... seems an odd price , my dell seems well reliable so maybe the 90 day option is worth considering rather than the year .

    has anyone tried the 5% code also .

    I think as it's getting close to the magic £300 i'd risk the 90 day and save the £35, how much would it cost to send back do you think?

    rowantoad .... do you still get the year warranty .... but with just the 90 day collect and return ... ?

    might be an idea to ring dell
