Buy the ram elsewhere and install it yourself. shop4memory ave a 4GB kit for just over a €100. I think they do free delivery.

leptonite · 31-12-2007 01:37AM

Hi

Any one know Why a 17" Inspiron is cheaper than a 17" Vostro with the same specs?

I have taken into account the delivery and VAT but the Inspiron is still €120 cheaper. I have matched the specs exactly, ram, cpu, screen, graphics, HDD, battery, OS, warranty.

Which should I order?

p.s. any sign of an official Dell sale?

Thanks

coldfire1x · 31-12-2007 01:37AM

^^ Good find. One of my friend was exactly looking for this. Thanks.

Now e869, d'oh!

leptonite · 31-12-2007 03:21AM

Add the high res screen and long life battery and it only €1003.

No other manufacturer can even come close.

But which is better the Inspiron or Vostro?

p.s. if you add a second Hard Disk after you buy do you need any special adapter or will a SATA disk fit right in?

coldfire1x · 31-12-2007 10:33AM

^^ Theres not much difference between Inspiron and Vostro. Looks can be a lil different but hardware is the same. The 1st is supposed to be for home users and the 2nd one is for business users.

Go for Inspiron if you are getting it cheaper. Its generally the other way round thats why people try to buy Vostro.

Thanks, looks good, but I think 17 inch might be a bit big and bulky.

Does anyone have any opinions on the XPS M1530?

It dosn't go on to say what additional info if required, but I would imagine if you phone up they can do it for you.

Did it say a specific range of laptop?

Alos it says it expires the 2nd Jan, it the midnight tonight or tomorrow?

Squalls link works perfectly , then enter the code he gave and it is indeed a €361.79 laptop , including vat and delivery although this Sponge would recommend XP Home operating system as Vista will fairly wheeze on that laptop.

Ordered that exact same laptop last week for E421

Cancelled and reordered for 360

:D

Thanks

Iristxo · 02-01-2008 01:51AM

Hi

I am in doubt between the Inspiron 1720 and the 1721. Which processor is better, the "AMD® Turion™ 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL60" or the ""Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor T7250 (2.00 GHz, 2 MB L2 cache, 800 MHz FSB)?

Also, are the "Intel® Graphic Media Accelerator X3100" or the "ATI Radeon® Xpress 1270 HyperMemory" any good or should I try to go for a "nVidia® GeForce™ Go 8600M GT"?

Thanks in advance

skuzzb · 02-01-2008 03:14AM

Heres some links of most graphics cards and cpu's out at the minute in order of power anyways.

http://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Graphics-Cards-Benchmark-List.844.0.html

http://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Processors-Benchmarklist.2436.0.html

It really depends what you want the laptop for, so if battery life isnt a problem and you want to play recent enough games go for the 8600M GT with a decent Core 2 Duo!

Also have a look at the Vostro's, you might be able to get the same specs for less!

teflon · 02-01-2008 11:58AM

Trying to order one of these €360 laptops guys but when it comes to checkout its coming up as € 476.24 inc vat and delivery (€344 without). All I changed was the lcd and opted for truelife as my wife is a photographer and will probably use this also.

Am I doing something wrong??

unklerosco · 02-01-2008 12:36PM

Price seems to have gone up... Anyone got a new code?? Was meant to order one last night but forgot....
