    Hello everyone. This is an offer that I have received through UCD. The laptop is a Dell Vostro 1000 Entry Level
    Price From € 249.00
    Price exc. VAT**
    There are other laptops in the offer, Studio 1535
    Price From €688
    Genuine Windows Vista SP1™ Home Basic - English
    Also Latitude D630 High End
    Price From €873
    English - (Downgrade) Genuine Windows Vista® Business 32Bit to XP Pro - without Media

    I was hoping you could advise me if it is worth getting the Vostro or are there any glaring short comings in it that my untrained eye cannot see. Any help is greatly appreciated

    Well that seems to give various different specs and not just one, so maybe find one machine with a specific spec and price and we can see if it's worth the money.
