Are Dells any good?

Hey,

I'm gonna be getting a laptop in a couple of weeks, I'm thinking of getting a Dell Inspiron 1520 with these specs:

Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0GHz
15.4" screen
2GB memory
250GB hard drive
Geforce Go 8600M GT

Total £734

I'd just like to hear your opinions on Dells and whether that's a good deal, like are they reliable? Thanks!

Great stuff, they're doing a £160 discount on that laptop atm so it seems like a perfect time to get it (previously the discounts have been max £80!). Oh, and one more question, would you recommend getting Truelife (says it gives crisper image but shinier surface)?

Business version has more data loss protection stuff and Premium version has more media stuff, doubt I'd ever use anything more than what u get with the Premium version.

Ok, I'm pretty much sorted now, only thing I'm not sure about is the colour! Black seems very boring, I'm thinking of going with Green (see here). What do you think? It's pretty bright but I think it looks cool

Changed my mind, going with red now, think I might get bored of green after a week! Ordering now

Mine's estimated to be delivered on the 12th nov (day before my birthday lol), maybe if I'm lucky it'll come early
