Dell notebook for $548

[narcotic]

Dell - nice price

If anyone knows lower prices on other notebooks/DTRs PLEASE post them!
I'm really looking for a good buy.

 

[Kipper]

Posting additional details would be helpful...

For those interested, these don't have centrinos, they have the mobile P4s which are heavy and loud...

Yeah and you'll still have a unit with only 256 MB of RAM, a 30 GB HDD (what happened to 40 GB??) and no Burner of any sort. Plus you'll now be paying $678. Lukewarm at best. Adding another 256 MB of RAM, upping to (bare minimum) 40 GB HDD and a CD/DVD burner adds another $200.

yeah.. its not a HOT deal. As I said, its warm.
If you have anything better, I would appriciate a link, since I'm on the market for one.

[alm4rr]

geez tough crowd - he said it was warm to start with

I don't know about you people but I would not buy a Dell to save my life. I can build my own computer better than they can make it. But not a bad deal OP.

Care to give me the specs of the laptop that you would build for $548?

 

[mfbf]

You can build a laptop for less than $600? Due tell. I think this is warm also (as stated).

You build notebooks? :light:

Yeah, warm deal but it's listed as such. This place seems to be getting worse & worse on tearing apart deals just for the sake of it.

"There are no current In-Store Specials"

That deal expired weeks ago. Even the update to the 12 cell battery, combo drive and free printer for $100 more expired Saturday.

---------
narcotic did say "looks like a warm deal" and IMO, $548 is OK for a Mobile Celeron 2.6GHz, 8 cell battery (~3-3.5 hours on that model), etc. I bought an 1150 from the outlet and upgraded the CPU to a Mobile P4 2.8GHz for $50 after selling the old one. It's a pretty decent laptop for a low end price.

IMO, the Inspiron 2200 is a better deal for $618 than the 1150 for $548: Celeron-M 1.4GHz, free combo drive upgrade, free wifi upgrade, 1 year warranty and no rebates. Or the similar 1200 with a Celeron-M 1.3GHz, combo drive and wifi for $568AR. The 1200 and 2200 run much cooler and can be upgraded (2200 at least) to Pentium-M CPUs

Celeron umm not good, i would consider if it is Celeron M with 1MB Cache
