I'm considering purchasing a new laptop. I've wanted one for awhile now
and Dell is doing a special deal where they will deduct $500 of some of
their laptops that cost over $1500 plus they will give you a rebate. Most
of the systems I have speced out seem to result in a $200 rebate. A $700
break essentially comes out to about a 40% (out of total cost of $1700)
savings over list price. Plus you get $50 in free shipping and no tax.
This would be my first laptop. Is there anything I really need to
know? Basically I just need it to read web pages, manage my finance via
MS Money, player online poker, write some papers, read forums etc. I don't
plan on doing much development work on it - mostly because I don't have any
extra licenses for the stuff I would want to load on the notebook - and I
don't plan on using it to watch movies etc.
My choices are essentially the Inspirion 8600, 700m or 600m. Anyone use
any of these before? Any recommendations on what I need?
