second one from left the “DELL DEAL”
looking for a laptop just for the wife to take to work and work from home… more of just date entry and typing letters and such … no crazy gaming or anything like that
looking to stay under $600 if anyone knows other good deals
is it a good deal
Thanks
Mike
anyone?
Looks pretty good to me… but you may want to check out what it weighs. I’ve got a laptop with a 15.4" screen and similar specs, and I’ve got to say that I wish I would have gone with something a little smaller (14.1" screen). Between the size and the weight it makes me not want to take it places, kind of defeating the purpose of it.
well i could get the 14in in the 1400 laptop its same price and same everything as this one…i see where you coming from…i have just never had anything smaller then a 17 so i dont know the diff in size that much
If the laptop is just going between work and home, I wouldn’t worry about size too much. If you were doing heavy travelling with it, then I would say that size is a concern.
It looks like a good deal. I like that it comes with 2GB of memory. Usually they try to skimp on the RAM and the machine performs like shit because of it.
the specs are fine. I would check with the weight, but as long as its just to and from the car it wont be a big deal. If she has to walk a long way to get places or take a train/bus to work then it should be plenty portable.
the 15.4" screen will be more readable as well.
ok cool i just bought it should be here in 3-5 days
she walks about 15 ftt from her parking spot to her office and about 30 from car to house at home …
thanks for all the info guys
yeah, get the 15.4", she will like the larger screen.
No it fucking sucks.
1 Year Basic Limited Warranty6 plus 1 Year Mail-in Service
Seriously. The most imporant fucking thing with a laptop is the mother fucking warranty.
i knew before i even opened this page, exactly what you were going to say.
i can care less about the Warranty
Yeah, that’s a good laptop. Had one for about 3 days. Don’t worry, I returned it for the 1400 because of the size, not functionality.
You can pick up 4gb of ram for like $80 online if you watch for it and it’s easy to upgrade it. That’s what i didn. What battery did you get? i have the 9 cell and GF has the 6 cell and they last about as long as stated. I’ve consistently gotten 6-7 hrs on my 9 cell, which is awesome.
the battery will be dead in a year anyways. you will have to buy a new one, the new one will last way longer.
They post all the dell deals.
