    Is this a good deal for a m1330 - refurbished? $889.

    Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium
    1 GB DDR2 SDRAM 667MHz (2 DIMMs)
    160 GB SATA Hard Drive (7200RPM)
    Intel Integrated Graphics Media Accelerator 3000
    Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T7500
    Intel 4965 802.11a/g/n Dual-Band
    6 Cell Primary Battery
    Tuxedo Black
    13.3 inch WXGA Slim and Light LED Display

    I can easily upgrade the RAM - that's cheap, but for a refurbished product (are refurbished products reliable, worth buying?) - how is that price-wise? I guess I can wait around a week or more if this isn't a good deal.

    Not a bad deal but I've seen loads better!
    Especially without the Integrated Graphics card.

    Yeah...keep looking. You should be able to get something with a 8400 video and 2gb of RAM for the same. You just need to watch the Outlet closely. Great deals do come along.

    Good luck.

    I wiil echo what others have said. Keep watching the outlet and also keep looking at the home/sb/epp sites as sometimes Dell runs very nice promos through which you can get a new and better configured system for about the same price (or maybe a marginal difference)
