hope the cut and paste works. Below is an item from an auction site.
I am
wondering what a good price would be. My needs are not extensive: just
some
word processing, spreadsheet, and internet. No gaming or heavy duty
stuff.
How high should I bid on this? It looks like I could use it
immediately. I
might upgrade to 1 gig but I'm not sure that us even necessary for my
purposes. Is it?
S/H is $35. Current bid is almost $300

day warranty on all laptops we sell

DVD's and do all the functions of a normal CD drive.
Huge 30 Gigabyte Hard Drive Your hard drive is the storage tank for
all of your programs, pictures, movies, ect.. 30 Gigabytes of space
should be more than enough room to accommodate your needs.

document programs, online user's guide and more.

desktop does which allows you to add any accessories you currently

No configuring necessary, in minutes after receiving you will
literally be up and running Just plug it in & turn it on
to be blunt, it is a waste of money. $335 (assuming it does not go a penny
higher) and the fact that a new battery costs $150 and that they do not
warranty the battery*, and since you just need something basic, says to me
that you should buy something new.
start here with this $399 configuration, add the x2 processor for $25,
choose the glossy truelife display for $0 more if you want, increade the
memory to 2gb for $35, increase the hard disk to 120gb for $15, choose the
dvd-rw for $15 more, and you have a good system with a full warranty and 30
day return policy for not much more than your risky used auction computer.
also, you can pay $99 more to get the system with xp installed with option
to downgrade to vista should you ever find a need to do so. http://configure.us.dell.com/dellsto...~hot_offers_nb

I may be a little late in responding. $300 for a D600 with a battery with
reasonable life is an OK value. The D600 is a nice smaller laptop system, a
couple of generations old by now. But if one needs to invest in a new battery
soon, $300 does not look all that hot... Ben Myers

Thanks so much for your suggestions.
I have some questions:
I configured a system (but didn't add it to my cart yet). Where do they
give you the opportunity to upgrade to XP? I would definitely want to do
that. Also, it would seem that the 2 extra years of warranty for $99. is a
reasonable deal. Do you agree?
Finally, I get confused with the different laptops. There is the Inspiron,
Lattitude, Vostro, and a brand new one (I forgot the name). Are there major
differences between them?
