About to buy this laptop - how does setup look?
Dell Inspiron 1501
OS - Windows Vista Home Basic
Processor - AMD Turion 64 X2 Dual-Core
Memory - 1GB DDR2 SDRAM at 533MHz
Hard Drive - 60 GB
Drives - 8X CD/DVD+/-RW w/ double-layer write capability
Display - 15.4" Widescreen w/ TrueLife Glossy
Sound Card - Integrated Sound Blaster(R) AudigyTMHD Software Edition

Let me know what you deduce. It's only $584 shipped. I'm vitally just going to be using this to see DVD's at work (Hence the SoundBlaster upgrade) and I'll probably use it for some programming and software applications at school.
Answer:
For what you have need of it it's good plenty.
In the future you might buy a 1gig run into for &65.
Good price
sounds good but i have alot of problems with vista
Looks ok, but I will any add another GB or ask for one beside XP
go next to 2 gb of memory, vista is a hog, and make sure you enjoy a 128mb + graphics card option for the video, otherwise you will not gain the aero interface. and get the home professional
My father bought this laptop and have no problems might want to upgrade battery to a 12 cell freestyle life on 9 cell nearly 2 hours but for 584 my father loves his laptop does everything he need
also if you are going to play dvd might want to contemplate about upgrade next to the graphics card but overall a good laptop
