Question:
Did I get the right computer?
I ordered the Dell Inspiron e1405. I am a college student who will simply use it for the internet and word proccessing. When I become a teacher I will use it for that too.
I got the basic laptop with upgraded screen, hard drive, and Cdrw drive

Re: Did I get the right computer?
That's a great system for the money, I agree. I think you made a good decision.
The build quality is overall solid and the e1405 has a well laid out keyboard. How much were you planning on spending on your computer?

Re: Did I get the right computer?
Comment: Is battery life is important to you? Because you have choosen the 6 cell rather the 9 cell (which has the battery life up to 8 hrs).
