I bought a laptop from Dell. Does this seem like an appropriate price?

Question

No monitor(I already have 2)
-Dimension E520,Intel Core 2 Duo Processor E6300 (1.86GHz,1066FSB) with 2MB cache
-2GB DDR2 SDRAM at 533MHz
-250GB SATA II Hard Drive (7200RPM)
-48X Combo Drive (I don't write dvds anyway)
-4 year limited warranty
-$50 Dell Dollars Code

The price is $1029.

Oops, I mean a "desktop", not laptop

Answer 1

Yes that is a very fair price. Good job!

Get an extra battery while you can and rotate it into the mix. Their batteries have a tendency to die after a year.

Answer 2

That is a decent price. I can tell you that a big chunk of it is the 4 year warranty, the processor (the E6300 isn't cheap!), and the hard drive which has a ton of space for being a small laptop drive.

You could settle for a slightly cheaper processor and maybe cut back to a 2 or 3 year warranty and save a $100 - $200.

Answer 3

This is definitely a good deal. U made an intelligent choice in the combo drive and the warranty. I say gud choice in combo drive becos if u wud have chosen an DVD+-RW it wud have costed u more thn the rate u mentioned and moreover i dont think there will be any need for the DVD+-RW becos u already have 250 GB of hard drive !!!
NEways the price is gud

Answer 4

Hi,

The price you have paid is just right. Considering it is A$ as I am from Sydney? If it is in US$, then you have paid 20-25% of what the price should have been.

Thanks,
