Dell laptop opinons?

Stevie Dakota · 2009-08-17 13:50:30

Hi, I'm looking at this, primarily for Word Processing and internet (webcam) use. What do you think or should I be considering other brands? Seems like good value but not clued up on all the jargon. http://www1.euro.dell.com/ie/en/business/Laptops/laptop-vostro-1720/pd.aspx?refid=laptop-vostro-1720&s=bsd&cs=iebsdt1 Thanks.

That laptop would suit you fine, the link you gave is to a general over view but essentially it would suit all your needs. However it is a 17" laptop which wouldn't be the most portable thing around. Would you not be better going for a 15.4" or the likes? What drew you to the 17" version?

Don't forget those prices are Ex.Vat. So there'd be 21% to add on. And as mentioned above, check out the sizes before you buy, 17" might be a bit too much to carry around.

The appeal of the 17" is just more real estate, the laptop would not need to be that portable.
