Right. Go to Dell's website. Then go to bed and sleep on it.

BINGO! It's outdated when they drew up the specs last year. :lol:

I hate that about electronics. But, such is free enterprise and competition.

Tony, go to your local Best Buy and try before you buy.

Depends on your current usage. I prefer XP currently.

Why u say that Theo?.....I hear Vista still has some issues....no?....I'd hate to buy a new desktop...get Vista....and hate it....

also....is 2GB memory and 320GB hard drive sufficient?

Leaning towards DELL Inspiron 530 w/Intel Core 2 Duo Processor.....

I have had Vista on my laptop(that was once XP, but was having major problems with XP) and I have not had one issue for 6 months now.

I like Vista!

 

[tonyfloyd]

ok...thanks guys/gals.......looks like i'll be going with Vista.....i just hate change...lol...

Just want to make sure that you do not install Vista on a Mac.

Tony, did you make a buy yet? curious to hear what the verdict was.

I tried ordering an Inspiron laptop about last week. i ordered online, then called in the next day to have them upgrade the screen resolution. just found out today instead of upgrading the order they mistakenly cancelled it. none too happy, so i have to agree w/ Doc off the bat that Dells customer service is crapola.

this was an interesting read. i'm in the same boat as you Tony. decisions decisions .. :sigh:

what is everyones view on 'recertified' laptops? can of worms or good deal?

 

[tonyfloyd]

Hey Homer.....

No...haven't pulled the trigger yet....I keep hearing to wait until Thanksgiving....also need to do some more research on cnet....

 

[tonyfloyd]

ready to pull the trigger....what do i do??.....Vista?...seems like i got no choice....needing to buy a new computer....looking at the DELL XPS ONE......only comes with Vista........hhhmmm.......any last minute words of feedback??

thanks
tony
