really cheap dell laptop. Any good?

cyberstar

I found this new Dell laptop where the price is really cheap? As low as £169

Looking at the specs. How does it compare to other low price bargain laptops?

I'm thinking of getting it, for doing basic work internet word processing etc

but want to know why it is so cheap

Just thought I'd mention this but with VAT & carriage it totals £258.57. The system spec looks a bit basic but it looks quite a good price considering.

its 'ok' for the price. in fact its probably pretty good.

Use www.dmxdimension.com for the best dell deals. Personally i'd go to £329 to get 2GB RAM and a TK57 duo processor. Well worth the extra £60 or so.

Better still check out the one at £351. TK60, with 160GB HDD.
