Any opinions on this computer? Good deal? I am in the market for a new mid-range laptop. Would I be better off waiting for Black Friday?

And I think this is about the best deal that Dell has right now. Just a few weeks ago, they had this same computer for $649. They usually pull out all the stops for the one-day-deals.

What is the preference now, XP or Vista? I have never used Vista. I plan to order this unit but don't know which way to go. Help anyone?

I posted this on another thread today, but it's an appropriate answer for your question:

 

I have to say that both my wife's and my computer are both running Vista Home Premium. Once you get used to it, it's not that bad. And some things are easier. The problem is they moved EVERYTHING!!! "My Documents" is called "Documents", the control panel program "Add/Remove Programs" is now called "Programs and Features", etc.

 

At least in this stage of the game, if you can't find something, you can just Google for it, for instance, "Vista drive letter change" will bring up a list of articles.

 

It's the way o' the future. Get used to it or get left behind with the people still using Win98. http://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/Marcster2005/Smileypad/LOL/56k.gif

 

Vista does run best with 2GB of ram, which this laptop comes with so you should be fine. A lot more eye-candy in Vista than in WinXP.

I thought this was better myself

That bundles the graphics card in for $49 more. It's a better deal if you were planning on getting the graphics card anyway.

 

That's the crazy thing about Dell... There's always another deal or "package" to look at. You can really go :eyepoppin!
