Is this deal worth it?

I'm looking at getting a refurbed Dell M1330 from a seller on ebay. The price is £412 and the spec is: 2Ghz T5800, 2Gb ram (2x1Gb), 250Gb HD, 6-cell battery, X1300 integrated GFX (which I prefer, because of the probs with the Nvidia 8-series).

Is this machine worth the asking price?

seems a good price indeed comparing other ones of similar spec.

I didn't get that one in the end. I got this one instead for only £470:

2Ghz T5800, 3GB RAM, 250GB HD, 9-Cell Battery, LED screen, X1300, Wireless-N, Biometric Fingerprint Reader, Bluetooth.

Think I got a good deal?

sounds very good

refurbished too?

Yeah, it's a refurb but I think it might be an 'overstock' refurb, as opposed to a simple customer return refurb, because there were originally three models identical to the one I bought on the outlet website last week. Can't wait to get it.

I think the config I have will get me the best battery life possible. LED screen, 9-cell battery, and x3100 should get me 9 hours+. Sweet!
