| 200092 | 2003-12-13 04:02:00 | Yes .. the Warehouse do it $999.99. Basically the Dell Dimension 2400 Specs | Dell Dimension 2400 - 2.4ghz Intel Celeron Processor - 256mb DDR RAM (Shared) - 40gb Hard Drive - 48x CD-RW Internal Video, Audio and Network 56K Modem 2 Button Scroll Mouse (No Optical Here) Keyboard 17" Curved Face CRT | 16" Diagonal Viewable Microsoft XP Home OEM Microsoft Works 7 w/ Word 2002 Norton Antivirus OEM (Only 90 days updates) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It seems that they put a chip with a high GHZ so that people will buy it. Never mind that its not a performence chip. People will get stung for the Antivirus Updates after 3 months and the fact they won't get Excel. It seems its a good computer for first time users, but thats all But for a thousand bucks, who can complain. What do people think ? |

| 200093 | 2003-12-13 04:08:00 | i am fussy so no wouldnt touch it without a AGP slot its impossible to upgrade the graphics card and the motherboard is likely to be a cheap one as well , an optical mouse is cheap these days so should have been included . | kiwibeat (304) | ||

Who cares, First time buyers will lap it up, and still have some money left over for some other goodies |

| 200095 | 2003-12-13 04:18:00 | Yes a good deal. They must be doing all right, just been to the Big Red Shed and they have sold out here in Rotorua. | Pheonix (280) | ||
| 200096 | 2003-12-13 04:58:00 | It also makes a point of saying that "a CD copy is also provided" for Microsoft XP Home Edition operating system. Hang on..... we have another thread (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz) running on this subject... |

| 200098 | 2003-12-13 06:04:00 | People have to make up their own minds. The fact that they don't get Excel may not matter. Works gives you a spreadsheet, database and wordprocessing and it's all that's needed for most people. This version of Works includes Word which is fine. | Elephant (599) | ||
| 200099 | 2003-12-13 09:02:00 | Yeah its sold out at the Wharehouse in Wainuiomata as well -- looks okay for an entry level system but without an AGP port its seriously lacking in upgarde potential. Re: Excel -- you can always install Open Office and get a spreadsheet program that way. On Trade Me you could get better value for $1000 but then you are, essentially, buying pivately (and often 2nd hand) so that has its risks........... |
