I think that's a very bad deal

Hot guy. :thumbsup

i dont know about that juicy, loosk a bit steep

Is the light one with that new centrino crap in it , i was pricing em out and the centrinos are around that range :(

BTWits a Dell

try http://www.pricewatch.com

oh its a compact? i guess those could cost more, not sure then...

Only a 1.2 Ghz? And 12 inch screen?

My laptop is gonna be a Sager I think.

Yeah it weighs like 2.8 lbs i think around that range

I asked before from Centrino ownders here and they said the battery life is juicy and the speed is faster than the actual 1.2 ??

But i guess wheni get it I can tell, worst coem to worst ill return it and get another dell model

sound like too much

WINDOWS XP Home,English for Dell 500m Notebooks


Cancel the order and get XP PRO - BTW, its not at all impressive..

Try a D500 or D600 from Dell

Its the most important feature.
Great deal :thumbsup

Not bad, could be better tho.

nice config Juicy ... but why Pentium ? that sucks ...

very bad deal. the have laptops at bestbuy 3 times as fast/better for $1700 - $2k

its this one

well I just bought a Compaq Celeron 2.4Ghz w/ 40GB HDD, 512MB Ram, CD-RW/DVD for just under $800 after a Compaq rebate from Brandmart USA in FL.

Unless you really REALLY need something itty bitty, get the 600m.

The 300m is really small, like the size and weight of an 80 page notebook. Its tiny tiny tiny. Nothing on the computer it self, once you buy the media base that has everything in it that you will use, its much heavier.

Get the 600m

nice:thumbsup

BTW, all that "centrino" has is the Pentium M processor, and the intel wireless card. I think the 600m came with a free wireless router if you got the dell wireless card in it.

(BTW, I just started working at dell part time, the job rocks!)

you got robbed.

=juicylinksishunglikeaox :1orglaugh

i was waiting for someone to pick that up

I am looking at the 8500 or the 8600 to replace my desk top. The 300M is a good deal for what you get and the size. I have been doing the research for 3 Months.

looks sweeet...and you get what you pay for. i always go with dell too

You're overpaying if I'm reading those specs correctly Juicy.

:(

Juicy want some chocolate

Yo yo

Its the ultra mobile dell one. It is tight and succulent.

The specs also when i first ordered it seemed weird, but the price is mostly for the compactness of the laptop.

Worst come to worse i got 30 days if its not juicy enough to exchange for a regular sized dell one

I despise Dell Tech Support.

i have this computer..and it rocks..except for the battery life..only lasts a little over 2 hours..get a spare!

you got ripped

next time try the forum on www.fatwallet.com

I don't think thats such a good deal....$1200 for a 1.2 GH?

i got that exzact same lappy off ebay for 999

Ya sorry juicy but it seems to be very expensive

it's not really that expensive for a centrino. 1.2 ghz centrino roughly translates to a 2.0-2.2ghz p4, from everything i hear.

it's not a bad deal. centrino machines are typically very small. the only complaint i have against them is it seems you can only get a 12" screen for any of them. someone needs to come out with a centrino with a 15" display. but, i guess to an extent that defies the purpose of the centrino machines.

compare it to this machine (quoted). juicy's has a dvd burner, much smaller and lighter, and the celeron is going to be slower. throw in a few bucks for brand name, and it's pretty much on. :2 cents:

Oh shit it has AOL -- it fucking ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Juicy,

Most of these peeps dont understand the succulence of the centrino and the swankness of the small laptop..

Although..i prefer the vaio..i have like 10.5 inches of juicy screen..

I have about the same amount in my pants

i have a toshiba satellite with centrino and a 15" display

The Centrino really does make a big difference in speed. It's still gonna be worthless a year from now, so who cares? Enjoy it. :thumbsup

Inspiron 300M,1.2GHz has yet to prove itself in the market place as a chip but hey honestly for $1628.00 its not such a bad deal it aint the worse.

I would be worried about XP Home Edition edition though man, better just get yerself a copy of Pro version.
