i know it's a basic notebook setup but i only really need it to replace my desktop at work. don't need nothing powerful, just simple spreadsheets, word processing, presentations, browsing, etc.
i never had experience with dell notebooks so i really wouldnt know.
ya guys think this is a steal?? i dont have much time as it expires today. one other thing is mentions the product will only ship as of July 8, 2003. is that typical from dell?
is this a good deal (dell inspiron 1100)

Dell 1100 Notebooks are nice - I helped a client buy one.
Only thing I'd recommend is you want 256Mb MINIMUM. WinXP runs like a pig on 128. However you can always add an extra stick later from Crucial.com (might even be cheaper).
Also the 1100 does NOT come with a built-in floppy drive so if you want one you need to add an external USB floppy to the order.
Good price though. Last time I ordered one (about 3 months ago) it was around $900 for a refurb.
