    Opinions on this laptop

    Not the latest and greatest, but here is an offer I came across.

    Dell Latitude:P3-750 MHz, 256MB RAM, 20GB HDD, 14.1 TFT, CDROM Drive, LAN/modem combo.

    Price: $1180


    First question: Considering the specs, is the price good enough?

    Second question: I can tell this person not to put in the CDROM Drive, and I could purchase an internal CD Writer separately. What would be the cose of an internal CD Writer for a laptop?

    Third question: Considering the specs, is it worth going for?

    Anyone?

    It's an opinion question, not a question about nuclear physics.

    USD, you're getting a mad shaft.
    CDN.....nnneeeh....

    Wouldn't that be USD or CAD (not CDN)?

    I think a much better decision would be to spend a little extra cash and go for a Toshiba Satellite 2410 series. $1,372.00

    Mobile Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor - M (2.0GHz)
    256MB PC2100 DDR SDRAM
    15" XGA Display (1024 x 768)
    NVIDIA® Geforce4™ 420 Go™ GPU w/16MB memory
    40GB HDD (4200 rpm)
    Internal FDD
    DVD/CD-RW
    Integrated V.92/56K modem and 10/100 Ethernet
    Microsoft® Windows® XP Pro
    3-USB (1.1) ports
    ECP Parallel Port
    TV-Out port
    10/100 Ethernet
    V.92/56K modem

    Or if you want to spend a little less go for a Satellite 1410 series.
    $1,157.00

    Intel® Celeron® Processor (1.80GHz)
    256MB PC1600 DDR SDRAM
    15" XGA Display (1024 x 768)
    30GB HDD (4200 rpm)
    DVD/CD-RW
    Microsoft® Windows® XP Professional
    3-USB (1.1) ports
    TV-Out port
    10/100 Ethernet
    V.92/56K modem

    Here is the link if you want to check out some other models.

    It's too much I guess to pay for such specifications . If you are concerned about price ,I've heard there are a lot of good LT less than $1000 . Look for them , maybe in ZNet or Yahoo .
