The dell outlet is a good place to go shopping.

V.Happy with our purchase from there of an Inspiron 8600
£1,739. 28 Dell Inspiron 8600 Notebook: Mobile Pentium ® M Processor, 1.4GHz, 15.4 WSXGA+ Display, Internal NIC/Modem/Sound, Bluetooth, 512Mb ram (in one card so upgradable), 60Gb 7200rpm HDD, DVD-RW, Wireless B (since upgraded to b/g), XP Pro, Office SBE (which adds a fair bit to the cost).
£650.00 CR Total discount for system and accessories
£1,089. 28 Order Sub Total
£0.00 Estimated System Shipping* for Standard
£1,279. 90 Grand Total Including Delivery and VAT
(That was March this year so things have obviously fallen in price since then).
I would not have specced it to such a high degree from the main store as the budget was around the 1300 mark including software, so the bluetooth, bigger HDD, faster processor and XP pro are all bonuses.
