Administrators Leon Posted March 9, 2011 Administrators Share Posted March 9, 2011 Hi, Depends alot on what you are planing to use it for ? My advice(s)... 1. Get the 1,33ghz model 2. Give it a SSD drive (eg. Runcore) 3. Give it 2gb memory I use my D430 every day.. its a fast nice little machine.. i would rather have a D430 than a macbook air.. better keyboard.. good performance etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Bronxteck Posted March 10, 2011 Administrators Share Posted March 10, 2011 all the info is in my signature.. lol.. yes everything works. the only thing that did not work was the Intel wifi, but that's replaceable if you can choose core 2 duo you will need it in the future (lion) and try get it with dell wireless instead of Intel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
