$550 Dell Laptop

Dell has just launched a laptop that starts at the nice price of $549: the Inspirion 1501 [product page]. It runs on Windows XP and features a 60GB hard drive, 512MB RAM, a 15.4" widescreen display, a Dell wireless 802.11 g Mini card, and a CD-RW/DVD optical drive combo. Not bad at all, huh? The laptop weighs a respectable 6.19 lbs, runs on an AMD Sempron processor, and you may or may not want to exercise your option to upgrade to an AMD Turion processor if you are familiar with either. Regardless, this is a remarkably priced laptop--from a name you can trust, no less. Customize yours right here (and mind the instant rebates while you're at it). | Via MobileWhack |
