Budget laptop - Dell vs. Acer

Archived from groups: comp.sys.laptops (More info?)

Hello all,

Just considering buying myself an entry level laptop (UK based).

Am stuck between a Dell Inspiron 6000 and an Acer TravelMate 2304 WLMi
- both similar prices for similar spec (i.e. there's a couple of
reasons why one is slightly more expensive than the other), but
wondered if any of you had any recommendations for these models /
companies - or indeed any other recommendations in the sub £600 price
range.

Thanks in advance

Thanks for the feedback and reviews Michael - think I should have
posted this in the UK forum to be honest though
