Cant wait for my new laptop!

Finally decided to replace big clunky loud desktop with a laptop. I think
they are close enough in performance to warrant changing. Not as cheap, but
portable at least.

Inspiron 8600 1.6 Mobile with 1300 pci b/g wireless. wuxga, 40G h/d
(upgrading later in the year) 1 G ram, Dvd burner, ATI 9600 128M.

Would loved to have get the new XPS but the don't sell that in Australia
yet, and really wanted a mobile processor anyways.

 

Hi Jiz, I am also in Oz. Did you soup up your Inspiron? I am looking at a
brochure
I got in the mail from Dell yesterday. The inspiron 8600 comes with 512 MB
Ram
and 64 Mb dddr nVidia Geforce FX Go 5200 AGP, intel PRO Wireless 2100
Network
Connection 802.11b. I think this must be the base model. $2999.

Double memory & free printer at the present on 8600's

you can get a variety of options.... I landed mine for about 3900 with a few
extras - the screen was expensi though and worry that it might be overkill
for what I use laptop for.

we'll see - only option I wanted but didnt' get was 60 G 7200 rpm drive.
Later on I'll get that when I'm overseas.


If you internested in a similar laptop refurbished, look at
www.graysonline.com.au you may save a bit. Buying one for my wife through
here.
