I don't know what that is in American, but it's the cheapest I could configure it. Would you suggest adding or subtracting anything. I won't be doing much gaming on this. Probably none as my Desktop is my gaming rig. This is mainly for school and stuff. That's all, thanks.

 

That's not a bad setup for the price, though I'm not certain what that come to in U.S. Dollars. If you can, you might want to add the ATIx300 graphics in either the 64 or 128MB flavors. It depends on what you're using the notebook for. I'm not certain what your budget is, but you also might want to think about bumping up the processor to the 1.86 MHz, though I have the 1.6, and it works well for me.

 

around 1300 in U.S. I would upgrade the processor also. To me, 1.6 is just a minimum requirement. You might not notice much difference, but it is harder to upgrade later on.

I am in Australia so everything comes to AU$2192.30 which is i think about US$1622

Just wondering about one thing -- what does DVD +/- RW means?? can I burn DVD -/+ R's too??

 

We don't have Dell Outlet in Canada either

 

well there is only a few states that have Dell Outlet also.

Yes the DVD +/- RW means you can burn +/- R or RW.
