Choose the option on the left.

It lets you upgrade the hard drive for nothing up to 120GB.

They might spot this soon so if anyone is looking for a lovely 640m now is your chance.

Seems like they spotted it already. "Page not found"

and even if you did happen to order a machine with this free upgrade they are in no way obliged to honour it.

RichyX · 10-08-2006 10:19pm

It's still there. Just go to the Dell site and navigate to the 640m page.

They may not be obliged to honour it but in smaller cases like this I've heard they often do.

Still working for me. Not that I want to buy one though.

Well I ordered said laptop last saturday and so far so good! Got away with about 100€! Nice

Well I got my laptop with it's "free" 120GB harddrive. Everything's still working. Although total size is only about 105GB, where did the other 15GB go!? The option is still there on the website aswell

The other 15Gig jumped clean off the arithmetic diving board, where it landed face-first in the small glass of filesystem overhead.

1024 Vs 1000, Gibibytes Vs Gigabytes, marketing opportunity versus engineering shorthand.

Maths

thejovialhost · 18-08-2006 12:48am

Maths really is the be all and end all isn't it!? Yeah give me marketing over engineering shorthand ANY DAY. I still got better than the default 80GB which would have realistically been about 70GB then
