Dell Inspiron B120

NotebookReview.com has a new review of the Dell Inspiron B120 with photos and screen shots. The reviewer bought it used from a student. A couple noteworthy items:

I decided to make a clean start when I took over the notebook and got to test out the PC restore software in the process. It turned out to be really easy. Boot the machine, hit CTRL-F11 and the machine is restored to factory-fresh' state in a few minutes with the operating system and bundled software. This was way faster than reinstalling windows from XP CDs and all the service packs and software that were included, some of which were freebie junk, but others weren't.

That is good to know. And:

The notebook comes with a wordperfect 12 office suite, with the trial versions of the spreadsheet and presentation software, with option to upgrade after 60 days, or you may simply choose to keep the wordperfect wordprocessor. You have to live with the nag' screen though.

That's the first I'd heard of a nag screen. I wonder if there's a way to get rid of that.

He picked up the used machine for $599 Canadian. That is a good deal.
