....for £500!

The screen is a £180 option on its own so i am well chuffed with this. It is over £1000 new on the Dell website. Can't wait now :p

Nice find! That should go well

Nice find! That should go well

Yep my MBP will be going back soon as i am moving offices :(

This is the best replacement that isn't more than £1500! Also has the multi touch touchpad which i need after the MBP!

Should be fine for photo editing and running virtual machines on

Cool. Good spec for the money really. When you see some of the laptops that pc world and the like sell for much more than that.

What graphics does it have btw?

Phil

Nvidia 1GB graphics, think it is the 420m or 430m can't remember now!

Its a great price as its over £1k on the Dell site and god knows how much for an equivilent spec in PC World!

Edit - this is the nearest spec but with only a standard LCD and 4GB of RAM
