DELL 640M laptop

cider

I am going to order a new Dell 640m laptop, but they all have Windows Vista.
Can i get a Dell laptop with Windows XP loaded onto it instead of vista??

Thanks for your help

The machines on the outlet still have XP I think.

I've heard you can get them to downgrade from Vista to XP if you ask.

if you go in via small business it lets you pick xp over vista online..

Has Dell discontinued the 640m? I've been looking at it as the best option for a while and nearly got around to pushing the buy button, but now I see it's no longer listed on the dell.ie site. Still in a few graphics that haven't been updated but any links point to dead pages.

I was in the same boat ... I was looking for a fairly decent notebook with 14" screen for travelling and the 640M had caught my eye. I did the online chat with a customer service rep a couple of weeks ago and was told the 640M has been discontinued, but they did not know what model would replace it. There's a thread on here about the Inspiron 1420 that is in USA but not yet in Europe ... don't know when it's coming.
