Notebook Help

Hi there I don't know If this can be discussed here or anywhere on this forum, but I will give it a go

I am looking for a notebook that all I want to do on it is use apps like Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Flash, Visual Studio Pro 2005 and then watch movies. It will only be used around the house so portability is not a big issue.

I might play the odd game, but I have a high spec PC for that so I don't wanna pay £100 for a mobility or something.

Dell are currently doing the Inspiron 6400 with double RAM at the moment and I wondered what people thought on that?

I wanted to keep the price as close to £800 as possible so my wife does not kill me!

Thanks for any advice

That looks great, but I reckon i would want that 3 year cover that Dell provide, just incase like the screen goes wrong or something!?

only problem is it takes the laptop up like another £170!

Maybe I could drop it down the stairs and claim on that if it goes wrong!

Yea, thats what I meant.

Does the 1 year collect and return thing mean they collect and sort it or does it mean I have to send it back to them and pay?

My experience of Dell is that they collect it from you, but you have to box it up
