Question:
Inspiron B130
hi everybody
i'm getting a good deal on Inspiron B130.
configuration is :
Intel® Pentium® M Processor 740,Genuine Windows® XP Home Edition, 14.1in WXGA Display, 512MB DDR2 SDRAM 2 Dimm, 40GB Hard Drive, 24X CD Burner/DVD Combo Drive.
confgiuration seeems very good to me but only thing that makes me suspicious is the name "InspironB130".
i've never heard about it before.
so is there anything else that affects the performance of the laptop other than processor, RAM and harddisk and which i'm missing to look upon here?????please guide this novice in this regard.
thanks a lot in anticipation.

The B130 is a new widescreen budget laptp from Dell, came out last week, are you getting this from Dell or EBay? It can be had for super cheap via Dell.

Re: Inspiron B130
