if the description only mentions that it has an optical drive which is a dvd burner, does that mean you can't burn cd's, just dvds??? also does this mean that its not a normal cd-rom player - therefore meaning you can't put games in to play etc? im comfused!




I've just had a look on ebuyer but they only have a few machines with windows xp and to be honest they are either not very good spec or too expensive, the closest match is this one (hope the link works!) LINK

Having said that, the dell one is reasonably good also and I am sure if you gave them a call they could probably change the operating system and maybe even upgrade something else to compensate for having XP? I am not sure on their pricing policy, whether its different over the phone or online but I haven't noticed anything to say its an "online only price", so give them a call and haggle on that system!

The ebuyer link is for the intel chip which some may prefer? it is £360 but if you use google checkout you can save yourself a tenner
