Inspiron 6000 or 9300,Acer or similar? :confused: Budget of about €1,750 excl VAT. Will be used for work: monitoring company emails, Acad, Word, Excel etc. Will also use at home for watching dvd's etc. I know 9300 has a bigger screen but I'd like to hear from people who have purchased either one to know of the pros & cons.…

Inspiron 6000 or 9300,Acer or similar?
Budget of about €1,750 excl VAT.
Will be used for work: monitoring company emails, Acad, Word, Excel etc.
Will also use at home for watching dvd's etc.
I know 9300 has a bigger screen but I'd like to hear from people who have purchased either one to know of the pros & cons.
Work is paying for it but I don't want to go too mad!

My Spec:
Intel® Pentium® M 750(1.86GHz 2MB L2 cache 533MHz FSB)& ATI MOBILITY RADEON X300 graphics
Open to ideas on best screen (15" or 17" widescreen, battery life would concern me)
512MB 533MHz DDR2 SDRAM (2x256)
128MB DDR ATI®MOBILITY™ RADEON®X300 graphics card, PCI-Express x16
40GB (5.400rpm) IDE Hard Drive
Fixed Internal 8X DVD+/-RW Drive with Software
Intel ProWireless 2915 802.11a/b/g Mini PCI Wireless LAN Card
European - Dell Wireless 350 Bluetooth 2.0 Module
Primary 6 Cell 53 WHr battery & 9300 second 6-cell , 53 WHr Li-Ion primary battery
Multimedia Audio/Video Cable Kit
Snap-On LCD Cover
Norton Internet Security 2005
Dell Media Experience 3.0 Delux

Works out at €1819 Inspiron 9300 excl. VAT, pretty much the same on Inspiron 6000.
Anyone with similar or who can suggest better I'd appreciate your responses.

i just got the dell inspiron 9300, my advice would be to get the ultrasharp screen.

also, get more hard disck space, they come with 60, but if you have the budget, i'd go for 80gb, or even 100!

a gig of ram would be grand, an sure there's another slot for you to upgrade later if you want.
