    For the Vostro 1500, Does it come with Bluetooth or do you have to pick it, because when your customizing it says "Built in Bluetooth (Enhance Data Rate 2.0)" does that mean its already built in and that will just make it faster or you HAVE to get that to have bluetooth?

    O and another question, I know this might sound REALLY dumb but can you pick the 48 month payment option and use it for 12 months then just give the rest or something of that nature?

    It will not come with Bluetooth. You have to select that option. It's an interesting way of looking at it, though. It's worded quite badly when you think about it.

    I cannot help you with the finance question. Maybe someone more knowledgeable will be able to assist you with that one.

    With regards to the financing question, typically, there is no penalty for early payment. I do it with my car now. I pay more than is due each month, and the remainder is applied directly to the principal, lowering my future monthly payments.

    So to answer your question, you can make the first 12 payments, then pay off the rest in bulk. Just make sure there is no penalty for paying it off early.

    careful with the vostro 1500. It is one of the few laptops that still have an option for XP with dell, however, you will not be able to configure it with bluetooth AND XP. also, if you get vista, it ends up being a small bit cheaper because of some instant discounts. I decided to get XP with mine so that it would work with my X-Fi sound card (expresscard 54). As far as the payment goes, I would say call them and have them present you with some options. they might have a way to let you pay the entire thing in 12 payments instead of the normal financing option.
