Just bought a laptop...finally

[BigChris]

After so much messing around, i finally managed to sort one this morning.

Its the Dell Vostro 1500 with
CORE 2 DUO T5470 1.60GHZ, 800MHZ FSB, 2M CACHE
15.4 WXGA SCREEN
1024 MB 667 MHZ DUAL CHANNEL DDR2 SDRAM
120GB SERIAL ATA 5400RPM HARD DRIVE
FIXED INTERNAL 8X DVD+/-RW DRIVE
6 CELL 56WHR LI ION BATTERY
128 MB NVIDIA GEFORCE 8400M GS
INTEL PRO WIRELESS 3945 802.11
MICROSOFT WORKS 8
VISTA HOME PREMIUM

Think thats pretty much the lot...

all for a tidy sum of £433 delivered.

not too bad i think?

[BigChris]

i was going to buy the Advent in PC world @ £429.99 which had the slightly better processor (T7100 i think, with 1.8Ghz) but it only had 128mb of shared graphics memory - not that i will be using it for games, but its better to have a dedicated graphics card than not at all.
