Just make sure that you understand the warranty. It may only be valid in Israel, or if you buy it in the U.S. it may only be valid in the U.S. You also have to be careful that the computer you buy is the computer you want. DELL does not make their laptops, they farm it out to several manufacturers in the "Pacific rim". Each manufacturer has to fulfill certain requirments with their products and all versions of the same model take the same battery, power adaptor etc, but they may have different internal parts, chip sets, etc. Computers are imported in batches. If a batch runs out, the next batch may be a different submodel as the manufacturer moved on to different chips, or they came from a different manufacturer. I don't know how things work here, when I lived in the U.S. things were rated by a magazine called "Consumer Reports" (similar to Which? for the Brits on this list). By the time consumer reports got around to testing consumer electronics including computers, they were already discontinued by the manufacturer. Things that were rated "best buy" were often really "impossible buy". Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.
