Dell Inspiron 1100,$879 as configured;a good deal???
Hi all,
I'm helping a friend with a laptop purchase (which I'm a little unfamiliar with), and I configured this based on his needs/wants.
The question: is this unit/configuration/price a good deal for $879+ tax? Any logical upgrades I'm missing? Thanks for any input.
