I'm on the look out for a new notebook for someone and wondering if anyone knows of any good deals at the moment.
There's a budget of £600 exc VAT and it doesn't need a particularly powerful processor, but must have a decent screen, hard disk size and memory as well as having WiFi and Bluetooth. Needs to be pretty solidly made too.
Had a look there and whilst the prices and spec aren't bad I've never been knocked out with their build quality in the past. Mind you they have a different range of notebooks now so perhaps they're better?

Just had a look at Inspiron 6000's and they come out at £609 with 1.6Ghz Centrino, shared memory graphics, WiFi and Bluetooth. It's only a business machine so the graphics won't make much difference.
Not bad. Thought I'd struggle to get a Centrino for £600.
Has anyone used an Inspiron 6000? Are they built to last?

I work for a Value Added Retailer for IT Equipment. Might be a possibility for me to get them for you at cost. Obviously wont be a Dell machine but an equivalent.
Let me know if u want me to have a look. I can give u prices ex vat.
I can supply next day assuming you can provide funds etc. Otherwise if you are buying for a company you could send a Purchase Order over and we can invoice u.
Com ports are becoming a nightmare.
I spent more money on my laptop because I needed a com port and all of the lower priced models didn't have one. Not all software will work with USB com ports

Right I have found a couple of laptops at decent prices but none of them have either COM or Parallel Ports nor Bluetooth.
Probably could buy USB to whatever u need device if that is possible
I am still looking into it but it aint looking good.
Let me know if u are interested or not and what u want in the laptop? So I can individualise then to your own needs. Looking for something with a com port now!!! Needle in a haystack comes to mind.
You can get some seriously good deals on Dell's outlet store if you look at the right time. If you want to know more just ask away
Cheers
