Protector Dell
Did I get a good deal on my new laptop?
I bought a Dell Inspiron e1505 with Intel core duo processor T1050 (2mb/1.6 GHz/533MHz), 100 gb hard drive 5400RPM, 1 gb memory DDR2 533Mhz 2 Dimm, 15.4 inch screen with truelife, cd/dvd burner, windows xp professional, microsoft works, 9-cell lithium ion battery, 2 year warranty, laser printer, lock, flash drive, surge protector, and mouse.
It cost 1400 dollars.
Did I get a good deal? I don't know much about laptops (or computers in general). Should I have gotten Microsoft Office?
NOTE: I'm going to college in a month, this was close to what my school suggested, a bit better though.
Thanks for your thoughts!
It sounds like mean machine. Way to go! Microsoft Works is fine if you want a basic word processor, calendar etc. The Works Suite includes Encarta; Microsoft Office is expensive and requires a steep learning curve to master. Anyway, you'll probably have access to it at college so you can check it out yourself!
