I've got this offer after calling the Dell Outlet Sales line (1850 200 778):

Windows XP

AMD Turion 1.66 Dual Core processor

2 gig ram

60 gig hard drive

256 ATI dedicated graphics

4 cell battery

I don't know if this sounds odd, but they told me this will be for a new laptop, from the outlet store(?)

Sound like a good deal?

hooplah

that sounds pretty great to me.

what is the screen size, does it have wireless, how many usb ports?

i'd nearly go for this myself!

The scree size is 15.4 inches, it does come with a wireless card built in and there are 4 usb ports.

Disappointingly, the video card is integrated, not dedicated as I was first told.

I opted for 60 gig hard drive and 90 day collect and return to bring down the price.

Total is €775 including vat and delivery. I just rang the sales line quoted at the top of the page on the Irish outlet notebook site and they told me I could get a new pc from the outlet, with XP.

The order is being shipped from the UK, despite the fact that I rang an Irish number.

I think you can find almost as good a deal in the retail stores.
