When in basket this comes to £286 deld. (get pre discount price to £299+ for Free delivery!!!!)

A Core 2 Duo or 2 Core AMD would be nice for many people the HD2400 graphics is a far better compromise. And compared to the OK plastic case of the Vostro 1000 the Vostro 1500 uses magnesium alloy.
It is a Core Architecture CPU(as is the Core 2 Duo) which means it is faster than a Centrino Pentium M 1800!!!!! Many applications only use one Core so often this Celeron will beat a Core 2 Duo1.6. For this very reason a Core 2 1.4 upgrade is too overpriced to recommend at all as of todays Vostro offer.
For those on a lesser budget!!!!!!!!!! (added later)
