Hey Steve...my parent in Fla. are finally breaking down and buying their first computer.

Is this a reliable machine?
Will it be ok for newbies that only want to surf the net and send/receive emails?

Will play dvds and such.

I ask because I trust your opinion.

Yes I am but this is a wise purchase for her schooling and the price is right. She was all for it.

When did DELL make a new computer? Its a sweet deal...but I am not a vista fan!

[SMOKE]

Yep, stick with XP if you can get it...got a new ultra-portable Gateway with Vista Business and I have mixed feelings about it. I can handle driver snags and get comfortable with it (even like some of the new layouts for moving through directories), but should've ordered it w/ XP.

Get into Vista on/about service pack 121 and you'll be fine...;)

Many of the units listed on that page can be ordered with EITHER Vista, or XP.

I prefer Xp ;)

Steve,

Mom just called...she wants it now.
Is the basic processor as advertised ok?
Or should I have her bump up one to the $75 add up?

We were looking for three for work. I will point this to our IT department to make the purchase. Good looking out!!

[KillJoy]

:bump:

I have received mine, and it is a sweet little computer.

I just wanted to let everyone know, that this price is STILL AVAILABLE!!!!

I have one as well. Bone stock at the bare minimum price.

Very nice. Should have bought two.;)

C-Net reviews electronics...here is a link to some reviews,with a few Vostro mixed in, but they don't seem to review any with XP (maybe some with Vista):

Vista sucks.

IMO, if you buy this computer.... GET XP!

:up:

[LordVader]

Our IT department jumped on it, and we did get XP instead of Vista. Pretty decent little laptop.

[CRUZTAKER]

Just as an update....I recently threw my compaq at the wall.

The HD is toast. It works occationally now.

I bought this DELL VOSTRO (for myself this time) today and was pleased to find that not only is it still available, but for $549, with a bigger HD (260Gb), free shipping, and delivered to my door for $590!

Intel Duo
15.5 screen
2gB ram
260gB HD

Choice of XP or Vista
