If you are using it just for the internet then getting this type of computer would be all you need.Plus its a dell and dell's are good.I have one myself
However, it can be a matter of preference but alot of people prefer a laptop with a pentium chip over an AMD chip but I guess if you are using the laptop solely for the internet then the cheaper the better.

thanks , i've never owned AMD. my old laptop has PIII 800 and my new desktop has dual core Pentium. I like the price of this new dell

If you really wanted to save some money and get a pretty decent computer you can check out ebay because they sometimes have used computers on there for dirt cheap.Of course you have to fish around for a seller that has a decent feedback and stuff but its worth a try.

If you go through a different like on best buy that laptop is 600 bucks.Probably can't get much better for that price.Would be a good buy
The 4 customer reviews seem to like it as well. Has a webcam to so you can make a gambling video for all of us as well haha

thanks again , i like the 3GB DDR2 memory , should zip along

Should be fine for what you are using it for. I have had a couple of AMD's and have had no problems.

Robzilla only uses the HP Pavilion Entertainment PC dv9000 Widescreen laptop.
Beacuse...
I'm simply the best, better than all the rest
Better than anyone, anyone I've ever met
I'm stuck on your heart, and hang on every word you say
Tear us apart, baby I would rather be dead

Whoa...Tina Turner flashback.

i'm getting out and picking it up after Oak/Clev gm i think

After owning both Toshiba and Gateway, and having a Dell now...I'll never own another computer that isn't a Dell. Good choice.

Ehh dell is over rated, toshiba aint bad, but to each their own i suppose.

[Francis Sollozzo]

well I got it , bought it at a local store. they didnt have the online special with the bag & mouse but after fussing with the supervisor she discounted the bag & mouse to equal the online deal.

took only a few minutes to set it up , now it is charging up will connect to my wifi soon and post with it.

btw-- i used CW's debit card ($500) to pay for it , just wanted to see if the P.O.S. option worked. Thanks CW for the LapTop

I have a new macbook 2.2 13 inch. They are the best deal right now. Get one at macconnection.com it is the cheapest place for them.

1st post with new laptop , lots of crap on computer! sorta want to reformat HD and install a clean retail verson of winxp , this dell vista is full of stuff i dont need. i guess i'll keep it as is until the warranty is over in a year.

FI is right on both scores.

Apple is best.

I've have a Dell laptop for almost 3 years. Highly overrated. Trouble prone, tho I use it a lot in a partime biz. According to someone I (now) know in IT, Asus is the best of the pcs. But mac is best.
