Charlie Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Looks good, but it doesn't have Vista? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogbas Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Looks good, but it doesn't have Vista? And that's a bad thing? Seriously, I'd pay extra to find a laptop here that doesn't have Vista. That looks like a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkcloud Posted November 4, 2007 Author Share Posted November 4, 2007 Looks good, but it doesn't have Vista? Urgh, I've used Vista and can proudly say I do not want that.... thing..... on any of my machines..... Just a quick question, if you needed to reduce the price, what would you change first?

Sanchez Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Smaller hard drive or slower cpu, but it's perfect as it is. I wish I could buy things VAT free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkcloud Posted November 4, 2007 Author Share Posted November 4, 2007 Smaller hard drive or slower cpu, but it's perfect as it is. I wish I could buy things VAT free. You see, I need a laptop, but £500 is a lot of money. lol Just trying to consider all options. lol I was actually going for one with a faster hard drive, but, I figure I can just switch that out later. The CPU I can't change unless I'm going up I think... The price ramp is pretty steep though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ten10 Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 According to what you want to do I would say consider lowering the ram, hard drive space or graphics capability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McPhee Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Lower the RAM or HDD first, these bits are upgradable. Then the CPU (unless you'll be running number heavy applications) or the Graphics Card (if you don't want to use it for games, if not then leave it as this one) Is this a Dell?
