Let be honest though. A slightly higher spec model (250gb disk) with Vista will set you back £228.34 delivered (http://www.ebuyer.com/product/159369) so without the licence of Vista one would expect a slightly lower price. Also the Dell offers that pop up now and again blow this price out of the water. I would like to see this kind of spec at the £200 mark, anything much above and I think you could be struggling. > Rob Regards, Jamie -- http://www.linuxuk.org
