It's a refurb, with a 1 year RTB warranty, I won't mention where it's from. Is that a good deal? The spec is:

Intel Pentium M 2.13ghz CPU
1024MB RAM
60GB Hard Drive
12.1" XGA Screen (1024 x 768)
Intel Onboard Video
DVD-RW Drive in External USB 'D' Caddy
Wireless Network (Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG)
Sound
USB
Network
PCMCIA Port
Modem
SmartCard Reader
UK Keyboard
Battery
A/c Adaptor and Cable

Nope, I won't be gaming. I like the size and have a monitor/KB/mouse I will hook it up to when I need to do some more serious work instead of idling in the lounge surfing and using MSN.

Does it come with an operating system?

Dinomania · 20 Oct 2006 at 12:56

Nope, no OS, just a formatted hard drive.

it is a good deal, imo, at first i was kinda like :s looked a bit average - but you still got a year warrenty which you just dont get with 2nd hand things so yeah, unless you find anything better lol - i personaly would get it if i had the cash (on the look out for a laptop to about this spec atm!

)

good luck

Going to try and keep my mitts off it for a month (when it's my birthday), but yeah, it's hard to get a little sub-notebook for that kind of price new anywhere...

i'd recommend getting the D620 refurb'd, you can pick it up for around £450-500 on the dell outlet.

But its much bigger than the D410... I have the D610 which is about the same size as the D620.

Yup, I use a D600 (and have a D610 sitting in my cupboard) at work - but I really wanted the smaller sub-note size. I have to admit, that's mainly because of the female pre-occupation with all things "small and cute" rather than for practical reasons...

...well, my desk at home is also very very small. That's a good reason. Right?

Anyway, done now...
