Hey, I've been looking at the Inspiron 1525 specs and sadly I'm not too good with hardware. I'm under the assumption that I at least need to pick the Intel Core™ 2 Duo Processor T5550 (an extra £90.01) to make it into a decent machine. The Intel(R) Core™ 2 Duo Processor T8100 (2.10 GHz, 800 MHz FSB, 3 MB L2 cache) isn't so much better than the Intel Core™ 2 Duo Processor T5550 (1.83 GHz, 667 MHz FSB, 2 MB L2 cache) as to justify an additional £70 on top, is it? I'm really not very good at reading hardware specs :x
Then I figure I need the 3 year warranty and might as well add a fourth year as it's only another £18 on top of the 3 years (total for 4 years warranty: £83.40). Doubling the RAM to 2GB is a decent idea (at just £20) and then I was wondering if it's worth paying an extra £30 for a 1440x900 resolution instead of the standard 1280x800. I contacted a sales rep and was sad to hear that the keyboards have Windows logos on the Super button but I figure that's to be expected really. Anyhow, major thanks to anyone who will help me with the hardware choices for the Inspiron 1525.
