I'll only be using this for net surfing, excel and multimedia. In particular I want to be sure the processor is adequate and will not require upgrading in the next two years or so. The alternative to this processor is the "AMD® Turion 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL50" is this worth £35?
Dell InspironTM 1501
AMD® Turion 64 Mobile Technology MK36
15.4" Widescreen Truelife screen
1024MB 533MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM (2x512)
80GB Hard drive
Thanks in advance for your answers, I'm stumped with this as it's my first laptop!

Vista comes preloaded but I'm going to specifically request XP.
By multimedia I just mean watching DVDs and surfing youtube etc.

It sounds okay.
Just okay.
Personally I don't like Dell. If you want a laptop, try Acer.
Also, notebooks to stay away from...
Compaq
HP
Gateway
Dell
I don't mean to say that these are crap. But these are the laptops that people bring me for fixing cause they're acting up.
but the notebook you're looking at sounds pretty good, just don't expect to do some heavy gaming on it.

it's 'loaded' vista right
surfing, excel > ok
multimedia > no
checkout the inspirion e1505, much better !

well, i never knew they still supported xp
in that case, get the win xp media centre 2005 with sp2
get the best processor u can afford, it's heart of system
so i guess the tl50 should be a must !
it's distinctly superior to the mk36
rest of specs are cool !
and ya, don't forget to order the recovery disks
