What do you think of this Dell laptop? - GoFuckYourself.com

Sly · 12-01-2004, 04:31 PM

I'm looking for a fairly basic laptop to use as a back-up computer and for travel. I'll be using it for Internet and email access, ICQ, Textpad, and FTP mainly. Very minimal graphics editing, if any, and no video editing. This system seems like a pretty good buy. Does anyone have it and can comment on it?

Big city bound.
Gonna make your mark.
Read your name in the lights.
All the ads and people say,
beauty lets you get your way.
Tried your best to prove them right.
But living on the streets ain't bad,
sad people make you glad.
Pardon me, could you spare some change?

Celerons are hella slow, and the thing will be rather heavy and have a not-so-great battery life (since you're planning to use it for travel).

Do you have any better suggestions in the same price range? It will probably be used about one week per every two months. I need to get something pretty quick here before Christmas.

I don't have any real suggestions in your price range. If you wanted to spend a bit more, I'd recommend getting an iBook, but now I honestly have no idea.

good price

tranza · 12-01-2004, 05:01 PM

Wow! That's a VERY nice deal!

I'd buy it.

Platinumpimp · 12-01-2004, 05:02 PM

Go with another brand. Toshiba offers great laptops for a lower price Dell does.

tugs · 12-01-2004, 05:03 PM

pretty good deal for the price. i'd look around for something that'll last you longer though.

iwantchixx · 12-01-2004, 05:06 PM

go with that one, seems pretty decent for the price but get a spare battery.

Considering how much use it is going to get... you could go used and save a few hundred bucks...

Something like this maybe?
