Dude...I'm Gettin A Dell
 

OK since my poll I ran I decided to go ahead and get the Dell Notebook. I didn't need anything outrageous so I just ordered the Inspiron 1100 which is $849.00 - $250.00 mailin rebate = $599.00 with free shipping.

Not a bad deal, it's got:

Intel Celeron 2.3Ghz
256MB DDR Ram
20GB Ultra ATA HDD


:thumbsup

Just ordered the same setup a few mins ago. I ordered the cd burner and built in wireless ethernet card with it. Its not for me though :thumbsup

I think thats the same deal I saw on GotApex.com yesterday.. it might have been $549 though.. Looked like a good deal :thumbsup

Yeah sorry this one said it came with the cd-rw/dvd already so thats kewl:)

Post a link to that. I'm going to grab one.

i plan on getting a dell lappy soon ;]

celeron???

:eek7

Id stay far away from Celeron's Since it's not for you good choice.

man I bought my buddy his first computer cause he doesnt know shit and that celeron sucks ass, nothin but weird compatibility issues. Fuckin junk

I have used many celerons and so have some friends of mine, they have never once had a compatibility problem with other hardware or software and a celeron is the same as a pentium just a slower class :thumbsup

your crazy if you think they are one in the same, but oh well good deal:glugglug

Thanks Bud.

Dunno what you guys are smoking, celerons are fine. Yes, they have less on board cache and are a little slower, but they don't have compatibility issues with anything a 'full' chip does.

I have a 1.8ghz laptop with 512mb ram and I constantly swap out winxp and linux on it and I've never had an issue, great little laptop.

yea I bought my Mommy a desktop from pc club a few months ago. For the every day msn game player like her shes happy with it.
CPU: Intel Celeron 1.7GHz 400F 128K
Hard Drive: 40GB 7200RPM ATA133
Memory: 256MB DDR333
Video Card: Integrated 3D Graphics

Starting from: $399.00 .

Whats the best place to find good prices on this stuff?

Bad move, any modern Windows OS really needs 512 MB RAM atleast, and the most you'll be doing with that Celeron is surfing the web + checking email, one at a time :)

Anything from dell is good

get a Centrino

Batteries last much longer & super silent & same power as P4 & wireless built in

i.e. IBM Thinkpad R40 w/ centrino are cheap now. 6.1 hr battery life, 15" tft

I'll take another mac please, but that's pretty damn cheap. Although you can pick up a refurbished iBook for about $650 now.

a) Learn to type legible sentences :)

b) Do you have any links to show this, I'd be interested in reading about it?

Brand new iBooks are only $799 at clubmac.com or macmall.com

here you go. http://pcclub.com/systems_desktops.cfm
BTW monitor not includ. but everything else comes with it.

whats not legible about buying my cheap ass friend his first computer with a celeron? Weird compatibility issues ranging from norton among other things, maybe it was a freak box, fuck if I know. But for a few dollars more just grab the Pentium. Juat an experience.:glugglug

Should have built it yourself, could have gotten a way better deal.

Your mail-in rebate won't come. Also, Dell tech support is absolutely ridiculous, so don't get your hopes up too high with your order.

I misread the thread. I thought he said Dude... I'm Getting a Doll. Real Doll makes another sale! :1orglaugh :thumbsup

I ordered one from Dell last Saturday night at about midnight. The unit wasn't supposed to ship until this coming Monday. It has already shown up along with the free printer and my mail in rebate certificate on Wednesday afternoon.

So far Dell has impressed the hell out of me.

I solved all these problems with the 3 laptops I bought from Dell by ALWAYS (as a standard procedure) reloading the OS when I got a new computer from Dell. Solves problems before they happen. Another problem with Dells.... mouse drivers for laptops. Solution: turn off all mouse devices except one.

Dell is one of the best out there.Spend a few extra bucks and get a P4 ..you'll have less headaches and downtime with a quality box.

$599? Not a bad deal:thumbsup
