    Yay! I ordered my machine on Friday last week, was dispatched yesterday so should be here in the next day or so! Hopefully it'll be new and not a return like I've been hearing!

    It's taken me 4 MONTHS to decide upon a laptop and finally gone with the one below! I want to thank all those who have helped me choose and for answering many questions I've asked over the past months, this site has been an enormous resource for me and I have learned alot about how to look after your laptop and other important things, so I'll definately be recommending this site to friends and family! Once again, thank you! :D

    Yup it took a bit of haggling to get the sales rep to drop to that price as they won't budge from £850 and they will start telling you stories about the quality of the product and random stuff like them having a special agreement with RAM Vendors that means the ram doesnt overheat.. lol :D (also just noticed I have a 2.0 webcam incl) - I think online it costs about £920, I've found elsewhere people get the 1700 model for around £700 with same specs with a 5400 drive but you'll have to wait till the end of november! I just got a call from DELL saying it'll be here tomorrow - Pretty quick service compared to what I've seen here, just hoping there are no issues with screen and that it hasnt got finger prints all over it already as it's a bit too quick... 4 days from Order to Delivery.. we will see! :D
