i just configured 1520 inspiron.

core 2 duo - 1.5 Ghz
2 gb ram
160 gb hdd
dvd writer
windows xp home
integrated sound
graphics x3100 as i dont want to play games on it.

the other things are same as many have given there configuration of inspirons here.

the price comes to be 43435/- with octroi ( cant avoid it ).
The executive is giving the 1 year complete cover for additional 935/- which is priced at 2500 in their website.

also i am a bit confused about delivery. are delivery charges extra or inclusive.i have sent a mail to them regarding this. if u guys know, tell me.

and overall should i take this offer?
