mrn8 Posted February 24, 2005 Posted February 24, 2005 That's a pretty hot deal. With a P4 3.06, it will be a battery killer, but it's still a great machine.
Brad Posted February 24, 2005 Posted February 24, 2005 The fact that there are no rebates makes it an even nicer deal. Get that low price "out the door". Good basic laptop. I don't see any upgrades that would be worth it, so you're better off doing those yourself for things like the HD and RAM.
RossMAN Posted February 24, 2005 Posted February 24, 2005 That's a pretty hot deal. With a P4 3.06, it will be a battery killer, but it's still a great machine.True but as Brad mentioned there are no rebate hassles which is a huge advantage. Also this isn't your typical Dell Inspiron 1xxx stripped model with Celeron CPU, 256MB, 14.1" XGA, only DVD, integrated video, etc.
Brad Posted February 24, 2005 Posted February 24, 2005 If you want WiFi, a good option is the Dell Wireless 1350 Internal Wireless (802.11b/g, 54Mbps) Mini-PCI card [add $29] or you could go with a cheap PC card.
RossMAN Posted February 24, 2005 Posted February 24, 2005 If you want WiFi, a good option is the Dell Wireless 1350 Internal Wireless (802.11b/g, 54Mbps) Mini-PCI card [add $29] or you could go with a cheap PC card.Why would someone choose a cheap PCMCIA card over internal mini-PCI? Other than lower price of course.
Brad Posted February 24, 2005 Posted February 24, 2005 exactly - price would be the only reason, unless you need an external antenna or something.
RossMAN Posted February 24, 2005 Posted February 24, 2005 I still love my Dell TrueMobile 1150 PCMCIA card. Sure it's external and only 802.11b but it's a rebadged Orinoco Gold, one of the best WiFi cards ever. Damn I need to get out more often and socialize with humanoids!
Brad Posted February 24, 2005 Posted February 24, 2005 Orinoco Gold for $24.88 @ J&R: http://www.jr.com/JRProductPage.process?Product=4021837
Bollweevilx Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 im too slow otherwise i mightve grabbed one
JonathanM Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 why couldn't I have seen this deal sooner? I would have purchased it.
Zim Hosein Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 why couldn't I have seen this deal sooner? I would have purchased it.Same here!
RossMAN Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 This was a very popular deal, I'm sure Dell sold thousands in a matter of a few hours.
