Good Deal or not

[zod96]

I am going to purchase the following but wanted to know if people that it was a goof deal or not.

Latitude 13
Intel Core 2 Duo Su7300
4GB Ram
160GB 7200 RPM HD
External DVD Burner
Webcam
6 cell Battery
Intel 4500HDM Graphics

$650 shipped. Does this sound like a good deal? This is from the Dell Business Outlet....

Thanks

If it's for simple office purposes or work, it doesn't sound like a bad deal. If you're looking to game on it, unless it has a dedicated GPU (I'm guessing it has an Intel X4500MHD), I would stay away.

It doesn't sound like a horrible deal overall, though you might want to consider replacing that hard drive with something around 500GB for the better platter density (and hence, I/O performance). Also, what battery does it come with?

It comes with a 6 cell battery. And it will not be used to any gaming. Just internet email watching videos etc..

Sounds pretty solid to me. Yes, you can get something with an i3 or i5 non-CULV for around the same amount of cash, but build quality could be questionably. IIRC, the Dell Lattitude line is quite good build quality wise.

I'd say go for it.

not bad....make sure to look around for coupons if you havent, they offer them for a variety of things in the outlet to make prices even better.
