its a dell inspiron 7500, 15" tft screen, 256mb ram, 6gb hard disk, swapable dvd and zip100 drives, has a built in modem but only 56k one, 2 pcmcia slots available though, so easy to slot in a wireless card  
 
£95 delivered, is that good?

RAM is alittle low, especially as its likely to be onboard graphics so it'll run slowly and 6GB HD is very small these days

not worth it IMO 
 
waste of money. RAM is no where near good enough for Vista...and a 6Gb HD is shite 
 
Infact, thinking about it....Vista would take up most of that 6Gb anyway

its not running vista by the sounds of it, running a vista pack on xp, so probs one of those crap skins desinged to look like vista. 
 
and yes stay well clear, low ram, pitifully small harddrive, no doubt processor is pants, £50 if that lol. 
 
can get a new one for £300 these days.

if it was me i wouldn't pay anything for it mate, if you want a laptop save alittle more and buy something decent. its false economy going for the cheaper stuff
