    I have this laptop and it TOTALLY kicks ass.

    It's way better than it looks on paper cpz its so sexy and portable.

    The 9v battery looks hella ugly though (sticks out @the back) an weighs more than the laptop itself. However 5 hours battery time (3 hours DVD!!) is pretty awesome.

    I paid exactly that for pretty much the same laptop. Dont get bluetooth though, you can get dongles on ebay for liek 2 euro.

    You will love it though.

    Thanks Sqaull20.

    Tried to do what you had written on the Dell.ie site but the total came to over 1000 euro. :(

    Tried to enter the 10% coupon I found in another thread in Bargain Alerts but it wouldnt work. :confused:

    Any pointers on what I could be doing wrong.

    Also can I ask is the Vostro only for Businesses?

    More help would be great.

    Thank you in advance.
