And another 4 years after that you can buy one twice as fast as that for even less.

I think its a perfectly valid point. If your computer failed after 2 years of the warranty, you could just spend the money you would have spent buying the warranty on a new computer and end up with a faster, working computer.

So then when that system dies in a year and a month and Dell won't do anything for you because it's a month past warranty, what will pops do then?
Way too many what ifs and such going on here. Fact of the matter is, you can keep waiting all you like, but if you never pull the trigger, what's the point? <$500 for a 1.8ghz Dothan and 1GB RAM is a great price. Sure, you could wait two years for a Core 2 Duo laptop to reach this price, but then at that time there will be something faster than it available.
Ballpark guess is if it's a Centrino, the 29Whr will get you around 2 hours and the 56 WHr will get you about 4 hours. Possibly more depending on screen brightness and what the computer is doing those 2-4 hours.Originally posted by: azoomee
How long does the battery last on this? Its only 29WHr, and the 56WHr is $50 more.
Sweet. Where's the Compaq/HP laptop with comparable specs and 9 cell battery for $449 you speak of? I need to buy one for a relative. Thanks.Originally posted by: soccerballtux
LOL Dell you are stupid. I find that laptop useless without at least a 9 cell battery. I will continue to recommend Compaq/HP to my customers until you start offering _real_ mobility. A 4 cell battery is laughable at best. Nice case though.
