Post your deals for Dell Laptops here and I suppose requests are allowed also.

Sponge Bob · 08-10-2007, 13:06

Please Note !!

All Dell Battery Warranties Are 1 year max no matter what protection you buy.

Its because of that fact that Sponge Bob recommends you buy a cheap laptop and spend no more than €600 and that you dispose of it by posting it back to Dell for disposal when it dies after 2 or 3 years , sometimes more in fairness. Replacement Batteries will cost over €100 no matter who the manufacturer is.

If you do not like that then leave Sponge Bob alone and complain to the European Consumer Centre instead . Battery replacements should be part of all extended warranties

€543 for an all in laptop
Clicky Here with vista .

€543 for an all in laptop Clicky Here with XP

XP will run a lot faster !!

In BOTH cases I recommend you take the free upgrade to the TruLife screen

Maybe consider the better battery which makes them €575 . Delivery free Mon and Tue this week at least.

Its a great , reliable , all in laptop is the 6400. A bit heavy maybe.

Cheap vostro, from 422€

Sponge Bob · 08-10-2007, 13:34

That Vostro is only €470 with 1 year warranty and a half decent Athlon not Sempron processor and the true life monitor .

Still a Good deal , then the only difference between it and the Inspiron is no dvd burning and a smaller HD and weaker battery but €70 cheaper

Once you add them on to both systems as applicable they come out the same at about €570 with good long life battery and 80gb HD and DVD burning .

579 no?

quintron · 08-10-2007, 14:13

No deals codes on a 1330 I suppose? I'm trying to convince myself I don't actually need it... but of course that makes me want one more!

I thought it would have been more expensive with Vista? If I have an XP CD already, would I be better going with the Vista offer and then I have a choice of using XP or Vista?

XP for now and Vista when it's a bit more stable down the line.. ?

Would the same spec be cheaper in a Vostro?

Are there reductions if you use pigsback and/or say you're a student/with a company?

culabula88 · 08-10-2007, 15:54

Do any of these have an S Video out port ?
