If you can wait, DELL will probably launch new model, offer attractive deals and throw in delivery at SITEX.

Did you use the Singapore DELL site?

 

[weich]

yup. I used the Singapore Dell Website. The specs are taken from the site after I made the customization. Price is S$3049. Any suggestions for improvement of the specs?

Just wondering if they will come up with new models or better offers at SITEX...

 

[weich]

Btw, what's the difference b/w Latitude, Precision and Inspiron laptops? which is better for business users? Thx

[Diavonex]

The Inspiron 640M config with better specs will be meet your requirement.

 

[weich]

If I buy Dell, it will either be the Inspiron 640M or the Latitude 620.... btw does any dell laptop have built-in Webcam?

 

[Diavonex]

DELL Inspiron XPS M1210 (optional item)

 

[weich]

damn.... too bad it's not available as an option in the Latitude or Inspiron models.. maybe I can configure the XPS....

Sorry for the many qns... hope I'm not being pesky.... another qn I have is that the optional bluetooth module offered by Dell, they are all built-in rite? Thx

 

[Diavonex]

There's nothing to stop you from getting the XPS1210; it's a deluxe model.

Light weight and powerful.
