can you check this laptop out for me?

[brimfull]

for dd 18yr

is dell decent , will I regret this bargain if it is actually one?

bump

Dell are generally OK, but it seems pricey for the spec. It's out of date and won't run an up to date version of Windows. I'm dubious, but my 4 year old daughter would love th epink design .

For the same sort of money, maybe this would be better?

thanks for your reply
very helpful

I thought it was a good price but your link is interesting

thanks

I've had a bit more of a dig around and there doesn't seem to be may decent full size laptops at that price, so maybe I'm too fussy? OTOH when around £300 get's you this or this I'd expect more for almost £200.

thanks for those links -they are both good-now to find some money

I've often looked at the lower end laptops but the small screen puts me off, when an extra hundred pounds seems to offer something quite a lot better (decent size keyboard, for a start, and a more generous screen, of course)

On Amazon, I saw Asus X58L - 1 Gb RAM, 120 Gb HD, 15.6 inch, costing about 280 (new) inc delivery (also models at about 260 but were refurbished).

thanks webdude
I am pretty clueless about these things
will have a look at amazon as well

and yes I agree , too small and it would be irritating
