Is this the best laptop I can get for under £400?
Two years warranty too so it seems pretty decent imo, though I haven't bought a laptop in a few years so dunno. Only need it for internet, the odd Word document and maybe a bit of FM.

| I'd ring Dell. You may guess that I think Dell PCs are ok.

| Yes, you could. But, after you've done this, ring them and aim for a better deal. It took me 3 attempts to find the right sales person. I have since bought approx 8 machines from him over the last 12 months, for myself and for other people. You get a much better deal.

Ok, my turn to ask a question.
A friend has trouble watching DVDs on her PC. They tend to play slightly slower than what they should abd it can take a while for the thing to start playing. Also, the voices (eg, on a film) aren't true, they seem to be slightly fuzzy. Any suggestions?

One more thing (as Columbo would say) - wireless adaptors: what's the best for the least money?
This seems to have had some decent reviews, but I prostrate myself at OTF's alter of knowledge once more.
| get a desktop card rather than a usb, by desktop i mean PCI. USB ones just drain your usb bandwidth and are not as reliable as the pci counterparts

Also, if I do decide to go for Dell I can choose whether to have XP or Vista.
Just been reading through this old thread, http://community.sigames.com/eve/for...2042035292/p/3
I'm leaning towards keeping XP unless anyone can convince me otherwise?
