Enter the service tag number here:

It'll show you all the info Dell have about your notebook, CPU, RAM, Video, any repairs, upgrades, length of warranty, support etc etc.

I looked mine up about 3 months ago and found out I still have 2 years of support left, I think they slipped up

Great advice,

I checked my dell inspiron I purchased in 12/04.
Still have warranty until 12/10.
Computer has been great. Only a couple of minor switch faults whcih dell sent parts and I fitted myself. ( I am no computer tech either)
I got a virus and reloaded the whole system. Works fine again.

As I use this for photos and movies I think next one will be a mac. I have attempted a few times on mac, a little frustrating learning again but believe it will be worth it in the long run.

In answer to the question re NEC, I have a P7200 which I bought for 1499? about 2 years ago.
I am very happy with it and no probs so far.
Except my wife's makeup on her fingers which takes the paint off the keys.
Recently took along the Strezlecki, and use outside.
