anyone Thinking of Buying a New COMPACT LAPTOP....I HAVE A HIGH RECOMMENDATION!!

STAUBACH · Jan 3, 2006

especially for those on the go, that like to have communication, and access, you know for things like GAMBLING and CONTESTS, and has the power to ROCK THE BEST SYSTEM in the WORLD, and screen SIZE is only 12 inches, and is a WIDE SCREEN, and looks like a James Bond computer

Ok you get the point, and go to EBAY as well, and save about 500 to 700 bucks new

DELL INSPIRON 700M

BUT YOU MUST GET THE 1 GB RAM WITH THE 1.6 TO 2.0 GHZ PROCESSOR!!!

The key that many do not know is, that it is the RAM that REALLY makes the computer fly!!! THIS THING FLYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love it is all I can say, and it is TIGHT!!!!

As a general rule-if you have Win XP, it will REALLY speed it up to bump the RAM up to 1gb.

If you only have 256mb-which a lot of MORONS sold computers with, it is running MUCH slower than it can.

Thanks. I had 512 went to 768 and noticed a big difference. I still have some issues so It looks like I will have to break down and get a 512 stick. They are just still kind of expensive but it'll be worth it to me.

My two cents:

Should take in consideration the CPU (Processor), not only the memory. Both combined will do the job. Thanks.

Ya that is a good point.

2.6 is a little dated

is there a way to check how much ram your computer has?

I am clueless about this stuff, but like the idea of faster.

I began to see the real value when I was looking on Ebay for this computer I mentioned that there were many for bid and buy now whee the price was pretty low..1000 bucks ( about 500 off retail for the 512mb ram standard)

The I noticed that more were bidding on the ones with 1GB ram and the larger processors.......I got out for 1228 for 1gb and 2.6ghz processor with 100gb of disc space. Remember RAM is not the same as drive space.....You still want a lot of drive space as well. RAM is utilized memory ( laymans terms fly from website to website, check e-mails faster, and open 5-8 internet windows in about 7 seconds)

SO if You can get this computer with the specs I mention above anywhere around 1228........I think you will be one hell of a happy camper

It also has all the wireless built in for when you are in a wireless zone

I cannot wait to watch a DVD on it, and the typewriter, though tight, is very easy to type on. Also the thing is about small as you can truly get and still call it a laptop

And if you check out some of the EBAY sellers, they are NEW (mine was brand new in box) they also throw in a nice leather briefcase from dell.
