Ah in that case I may opt for the 3670
Wouldn't class myself as a hard core gamer in anyway, just so CSS and CO4/5 if I'm bored of reading forums or watching films........
Going to give these guys a call and see how it pans out
Many thanks for your help..
p.s. You said your happy with the keyboard, does it flexs at all and is it back lit?

Thanks guys!
I just got one off outlet around £1200 all in (4gb, 500gb, BD etc). Only has the ATI 3670 but has brand new 3.06 cpu. Not interested in gaming I have a main PC for that. I like they keyboard and the screen is very nice. I prefer the touchpad and click buttons off my old 17" XPS Dell however.
Seemed fairly warm after a couple of hours of installing/patching things up but not stupidly hot.
Can you get a 9 cell battery from Dell direct?

Yes I got one from Dell, although they can be had from the bay but would rather go direct for something as important as a battery...
What screen have you got?
Full HD RGB Led screen. 1920 x 1080. Was the only one on outlet with the 3.06 as it wasn't an available CPU for home users (I think it was a cancelled/sent back business order).
My m8 bought one (brand new) via business and got it for 1k+vat (his is 4670 & 2.8 cpu). The list price was like 1800 quid and he just spoke to them and they discounted it down. They are also doing a lot of discount vouchers I think for 5% off.
I think you can haggle a bit direct. Probably gets them commision.

Can you get all the drivers for Windows 7 on these as yet?
Or has anyone already installed?

320GB SSD?
Soldato
No a 7,200rpm standard drive
Although when the 256gb come down in price I may treat myself to one!

thought it might have been one of the new Intels
Soldato
Unfortunately not mate! 
But at the rate the prices fall on them it might not be that long

Looks a good purchase - with a nice upgrade path
Yes
I've read you can upgrade most parts although an SSD and or a new graphics card is all I would bother with, I like to play some COD4/5 and CSS here and there if I'm bored of an evening but what I like is desktop real estate and this screen will give me just that so fingers crossed I like it lol
same- did u get ssd? thats the hold up
