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?

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 .
