Looks like a great deal. Only 32 bit though.  Is that an issue?
I need a laptop and was looking into the Inspiron 1545. The specs on this are alot better for the same price. I just wanted to know, whats the difference between a 'business' computer and a 'personal' computer?

Not unless you're planning to upgrade your RAM to over 4GB... But for most, it shouldn't make much of a difference...

There isn't really a difference, it's just some specs are geared more towards home users and vice-versa, and there might be a difference in the pre-installed Dell software, which is anyway useless.... At the end of the day, you have to go through the specs, and see whats most important for you....

The question is in 2-3 years will every computer be 5,6 GB and 32bit will be left in the dust? Why is preinstalled dell software useless? I saw on some blogs about this deal that its advised to anyways reinstall the OS on any comp you buy. What does that mean and why?
