I have a Dell Inspiron 1300 which I bought in April 2006 which is now about to give up the ghost. I phoned Dell to ask about the equivalent updated model and the Inspirons are now approx. €400.(base)
The sales person recommended a Studio 15 Laptop as a much better spec? -for €600
Jet Black Colour with Matte Finish
Intel® Pentium® Dual-Core Processor T4200 (2.0GHz, 800MHz, 1MB cache)
Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium SP1-
Microsoft® Works 9.0 / English - (Does not include Microsoft® Word) 1
1 Year Limited Warranty - Collect & Return 1
15.6in Widescreen High Definition (1366x768) WLED with TrueLife 1
2.0 Mega pixel Integrated Web Camera 1
3072MB 800MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM [1x2048 + 1x1024] 1
250GB (5,400rpm) Serial ATA Hard Drive 1
256MB ATI Mobility RADEON HD 4570 1
Fixed Internal DVD+/-RW Slot Load Drive including Software 1
Primary 6-cell 56 WHr Lithium Ion battery
I have my music stored on computer ( a good bit), a few photographs - surf the web a bit, also bring home work occasionally (mostly word and powerpoint)
Anyone bought either of these laptops and can recommend - good or bad.
Also, do I need to re-install my internet on the new laptop - I have lost my codes (somewhere in the house) and this is probably why I have not bought the computer yet because I wont be able to set it up.
Appreciate any help because this is one area where I am very weak!
Thanks
