Ignore mike - he says the same sh*te every time. Unless he can tell you
where you can get "similar with a load of extras thrown
in from highstreet shops " stick with the Dell. The spec looks very good -
you could try looking through some pc mags for review systems -
manufacturers often increase spec but not cost to get an 'award'.
