The price that was paid for my laptop was $485 from Best Buy.I bought the one that was a step up from the basic Inspiron 1525 model with a 160 GB HDD. Specs above cam from: http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=4175This is by far one of the best cheap laptops on Dell’s Inspiron line.Recently Dell started an initiative to create high quality laptops for good prices.So far Dell has been spot on and hopefully they stay that way.In my opinion I hope Dell adds a USB port or two to their laptops.I don’t want to have to buy anymore USB hubs.
