Answer 1

Great amount of Hard Disk space. The 2GB of RAM is nice too. The battery is great for working for long times. Nice price. This is a great laptop.

That sounds a bit high to me. My E-1505 was that price with 1 gig of ram and a centrino duo processor.

Answer 3

It relies upon on what working device your going with and what your going to do with the computer. 2GB will help with destiny utility and video games popping out interior the subsequent 3 months to 3 years or so. if your going with vista I propose 2GB. If its XP then 1GB would be high quality for some years a minimum of according to possibility longer until your enjoying new video games or use extra heavy utility. ordinary i could take the 2GB. Why wait if its going to ensue in any case down the line. Witch it is going to.

Answer 4

I think it is a great price the only thing I dont like is the AMD Intel Core2Duo is much better but thats not a bad laptop I would get it. Its a real steal.

Answer 5

No AMDs are being discounted. The Intel core 2 duo is much better.

Answer 6

its a good price but do you really need all this?
you can customize your own with a pentium dual core, 2 gb of ram for less.
email if more help needed.

Answer 7

no i dont think so, my mom got one from Dell for like 600 and it is awesome.. i wouldnt pay more then 600 unless you really need it to be supped up...(keep in mind if you buy something cheaper you can always buy peices for it later)

Answer 8

Great specs and a good price. What are you waiting for, grab it!

Answer 9
