A few laptop deals before school opens!
Dell is having a few good laptops!
Semi-retarted deal since it's only available with 32-bit windows
32bit windows can address up to 4gb… But other memory is mapped into the same address space ie grfx ram etc. On a basic laptop like this with no dedicated graphics card (which would have its own ram) you might still get up to 3.5gb usable.
RAM is so damn cheap now, have a look around (MSY maybe). Now I'd look for better CPU and graphic card ;)
laptop ram aint soo cheap yet imo xD
Really? It's actually cheap as (or cheaper) than PC RAM.
4GB would cost $60 (ex. S&H).
preety cheap
The laptop unfortunately is has a Pentium processor (its not a core 2 Duo or anything)
Add $100 more for a Core 2 duo processor but then you only get 2gb of RAM
so buyers, be aware of this
Dell have been consistently eroding the specs of this model since Sept when I got a 1525 with Core 2 Duo T5750, 2GB ram and 160GB HDD for $699. Its probably a combination of the aussie dollar dropping and the recently announced Mini9 which needs its own price bracket in the range. I definitely bought it at the right time looking at it now.
That's because the Inspiron range is now low end. Studio and XPS take the middle and upper range respectively.
Also the 1525 is fairly old stock. Just like they were selling the Inspiron 6400 from day 1 of the Core 2 Duos until perhaps later into 2007 (which ran for up to 2 years!).
Who says Dell doesn't have inventory stock? :p
Homework's easy with a 4GB memory laptop for only $899
Sorry, had to change the deal ;-)
