Hello,
I have finally decided on purchasing a Dell 1505 laptop with the following specs
My Components
Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T5200 (1.6GHz, 2MB L2 Cache, 533MHz FSB)
FREE Upgrade to Genuine Windows Vista™ Home Premium with 1GB of memory
15.4 inch Wide Screen XGA Display with TrueLife™(glossy)
2GB Shared Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 533MHZ, 2 DIMM
120GB 5400rpm SATA Hard Drive
8X CD/DVD Burner (DVD+/-RW) with double-layer DVD+R write capability
128MB ATI MOBILITY™ RADEON® X1300 HyperMemory™
Integrated Audio
So far this build is $998
But need to know if I should purchase the following to go with it:
1) It comes with the Dell Wireless 1390/b/g (54mbps) is the sufficient for browsing wireless while at a local Starbucks or do I need one of the other 3 choices:
Intel PRO/Wireless 3945a/g [add $29 or $1/month1]
Hi-Speed: Dell Wireless 1500 Wireless-N [add $49 or $2/month1]
Intel Next-Gen Wireless-N [add $59 or $2/month1]
2) Do I need Internal Bluetooth? What will it enable?
3) It comes with a 1 year Ltd Warranty and mail-in service, should I upgrade to:
3Yr Ltd Warranty and At-Home Service [add $250 or $8/month1]
2Yr Ltd Warranty and At-Home Service [add $170 or $6/month1]
4) Should I get Accident and Theft protections for $139?
Thanks all, I just don't want to pay for something that I might not use.
