[BNM] Dual Core Laptops - Recommendations and dangers

[Russell Beech]

"They're advertising an Inspiron 6400 for £648 at the mo."

Just ordered one.  We got a brochure through the post with the 6400 priced
at £599 (exc. VAT).  I haven't been able to find any other laptop with a
comparable spec at that price range.

1.83ghz Core Duo
1gb RAM
60gb HDD
15.4" WXGA

Hi All,

As Easter approacheth you can sense the electrical shops taunting me with
their electronic goods.  I'm in the market for a dual core laptop (PC -
nothing in particular against Macs, the video editing on them is not to my
taste).  I've seen a bit of tooing and froing about whether Dells are any
good or not.  They're advertising an Inspiron 6400 for £648 at the mo.
Anyone got one?  Any good?

Similarly PCworld have an Advent 7093 for £799.  Any good?

...or should i just stop thinking about sales and promotions and save up for
an Acer for about a grand through ebuyer?

Any thoughts (other than "check the archive" - i have, i think these are
different spec or new models) would be appreciated.

Ta,
Jeff
