Ordered 2 of these last weekend and they arrived on Wednesday morning. Myself and the gf are happy out with both (although may end up getting rid of Vista as I'm not a fan. Still, nice having a licence to run Vista Business on it along with the installation media....)

Also, there's a shipping discount on at the moment which knocks 60 euro off the price, but it ends on the 27th of June. Also, the links posted by Voipjunkie seem to throw up errors from time to time but after a few goes the page will load...

The free shipping is a scam the 449 price included the shipping they have just added 60 euro on to the base price then they subtract the 60 euro so the price is 449

spongbob

yeah but even at that price does that sounds like a good offer?

Ah yeah 450 is a great price just pointing out that the free delivery does not add anything to the deal it is the same price as when you paid for delivery

1501 Inspiron Laptop now €494.39

Just enter the product code "N07152" in the search field in the top right of screen
on the Dell site

You need to unselect the "Hardware Support" for the above price.

I posted this in another thread but thought it would be useful here too

E305-N07642(XP) - €508.99
E305-N07643(XP) - €565.26

Thinking of getting E305-N07643 for €565.26

That's the dearest of all the deals but it's mighty value and better to have a good spec laptop as hard to upgrade.

I've one question though. Is it better to go with the reliable XP OS or head the Vista route.

Hiya all
If you are buying a Dell Laptop it's worth going for the TrueLife display, looks fantastic.

Hi folks couple of questions can add windows 2000 and microsoft XP from my PC to my new laptop?

Fabritzo

Vista is grand, needs a gig of ram, 128gfx and a half decent processor would help.

Fysh

I dont like Vista personally but I've left it on my machine as I work in IT and will need to know about it eventually for work.

That being said, it's quite straightforward to either wipe the drive completely or set it up to dual-boot with Windows XP (or 2000 if you prefer, though I'm not sure why) - I've done this with mine. I used this guide and didn't have any problems.

(I'll be playing about with putting Linux on it soon as well just for the hell of it , will post up here once I've done it if anyone's interested).
