    Folks,

    This is a great deal! A Pentium M at this price is outstanding! I purchased one of these for my mom. Talk about a great birthday present.

    Great post Jason.

    Looks like its basically a re-badged B120, a 14" screen in a 15.4" bodied laptop = larger plastic bezel.

    Yes, it takes you to configure the B130. However the deal is now dead, and it looks to me to be the same config but a Celeron M 1.5ghz CPU, Instead of the PM 1.8ghz. I posted this around one week ago, and dells deals change frequently. So that mostly kills the deal because of a slower CPU. If I find any other deals like this I will post them.
