Hi folks, I'm looking to buy a new laptop in the next two days because my old FS Amilo M3438G in my sig blew up after 18 months of use. I'm tempted by this Dell. It will be used primarily for coursework (computer science) such as...

I got an identical M3438G on Monday. I had similar problems with NIS, but I uninstalled it and installed my old copy of Norton Antivirus 2003 and Norton Personal Firewall 2003 which sped things up massively, but I'm going to change...

Thanks for your help, I think I'm going to give the XPS 2 a try. On the XPS 2, I can turn down the resolution from the native 1900x1200 to 1024x768, can't I? And is there any dramatic difference between 2.13Ghz and 2.26? Dell...

Hi, I'm wanting to buy a laptop for University. I've narrowed it down to the i9300, XPS2 and Fujitsu-Siemens M3438G. I've never had a laptop before I was wondering, how futureproof are the i9300 and XPS2? How long they...

Try nice-pc.co.uk I'm in exactly the same boat, looking for that laptop within the next week or two, you getting it for University too are you?
