Cold deal when compared to what you'll get if you wait.
As long as you have enough credit on your card to stand having 2 dells reserving money then I would recommend buying on a wednesday before the deals are updated. If you need to cancel all it will cost you is the reserved funds being tied up for a week.
They email you the copy of your order, just email back the next day and cancel, if it does get as far as actually turning up at your home just refuse delivery, but you can deal with it easily in my experiance by email long before it gets to that.
They will ring you when you cancel an order to try to get you to change your mind or just to see why they failed.
hope this helps!!!
Yep i was thinkin about the upgrade to 6cell for an extra £11+
I'm thinking about a laptop but does anyone think its worth holding off to closer to xmas for better deals?
which yesterday was priced at £388 also and had a matching spec to N1010003a, but with the TL60 Chip.
Crafty gits...
need to buy a laptop for daughter for christmas for when she goes off to uni
anyone reckon this will be the best value laptop before Christmas
thanks
thanks carleast for the useful info....:thumbsup:
how would you compare this deal with the previous Inspiron 6400 - £411 deal.. thanks
Cool, thanks for that. I read on another thread on here somethinga bout the 9 cell making the laptop more bulky, is that right? People suggest the 6 cell then?
Go to my blog for a pic of the 9 cell, its not big and doesnt stick out ;-)
it protrudes a little from the bottom (only by about 2mm though,which is smaller than the rubber feet), but does not stick out at the rear of the unit (contrary to what some people have said).
I have the 9 cell battery in the vostro 1000 from this thread

Am just a bit worried that the laptop might break 18 months in, and if only the base warranty is selected, there'd be no cover?
You could buy with just the 1yr warranty then during the year if dell dont contact you to ask if you want to extend it (they usually do) then you can get a quote from them for extending it, usually its cheaper this way too.
I got the 9 cell battery and the TL screen. Battery does not stick out at all.
That seems like a good price for that machine - makes you wonder what you'll get if you call them up
Look Here
Is there a similar comparison for the Intel chips please? :thumbsup:
Anyone know how noisy these machines are?
What's the goood alternative laptop at this price and spec with TV out ?
Cheers
My bets are that the TL60 will be available for the same price in a week or two if it already has. As I've already mention Dell do a couple of weeks with an amazing deal and then a couple of weeks with a not so good deal. The confusing thing at the moment is that the not so good deal is still very good compared to other laptops.
I have the 9 cell battery on the Vostro 1700 and it sticks out.
The price in the first post is the price you will pay £387 delivered, dell sometimes get twisted and charge delivery of £60 instead of putting it into the units price and having free delivery. Makes no difference as your paying £387. Would be a real top bargain if they reduced it by another £60!
There are some links to sites with cpu data on my blog pages.
The Inspiron 1501 and Vostro 1000 notebooks dont have svideo out. The Inspiron 6400 and Vostro 1400, 1500 and 1700 do as do the other Inspiron notebooks but I cant point you to a bargain right now as Dell are being tight. Maybe by the weekend they will lower some prices for us.
we got the 9 cell and picked the Truelife screen and paid the £387, even playing videos it does the job fine.
the truelife screen does make the screen look really silky and smooth.
the 9 cell is a DEF must as no doubt you wont always have it connected to the mains, this way you can sit in your bed or in the living room with ample power. Dont get a 6 cell as it wont be enough
overall at this price you cant go wrong, if this was in PC world you would certainly be paying over £500.
This has to be the best deal i have ever come acroos and i can only thank Emasu for the original thread, plus Mike for bringing this back on with a New Deal
Dont miss out on this one, the last time this was on at this price the Deal percentage hit the roof !
voted hot .....AGAIN !! lol

See post no 98 for picture of battery. The photo on Dells site is wrong for this model.
Thanks Mike for pointing out these good dell deals, i know you don't work for dell ..... but they should pay you some commission !!!!!
Do I have to network the laptop and desktop together or can i use some kind of router. WOuld the laptop come with the correct equipment or do I purchase these separately.
oh.....why on earth would you want to go with AOL? one of the worst, we had AOL and it was appauling
