    Hello..

    Need Help Please..
    brought a dell M1730 off a friend, but i want to sell it now. i need to know its specs ive looked in the properties in my computer and loaded a program c puz it list all the hardware but it only shows a few things : intel core2 duo T9500 2.6GHz, 4gb ram, 64 bit, 17", 2x 200gig hard drives and was loaded with xp. ideally im looking for a way to identify all specs so i can list it on ebay.. if i get something wrong on listing someone might not be happy. and for me with little knowledge when it comes to computers i would just like to copy and paste the details from a site..
    express service code
    29-136-945-43
    model number
    pp06xa ref: 06138

    there are other codes on laptop surely one will list whats in the laptop???

    and also what would make a great replacement something a little bit smaller and lighter would be a bonus, but still powerful..

    many thanks for any help or advice you can give me.
    stuart..

    CPU-Z will show you the specs in different tags.

    Also the Service Tag will help alot (Dell's form of serial number).

    8X DVD+/-RW DRIVE

    INTEL PRO WIRELESS 3945 802.11A/B/G
    DELL MOBILE BLUETOOTH 355

    UK/IRISH 220V AC ADAPTER POWER CORD

    and then any software that you have on the computer (ie windows xp, antivirus, microsoft office)

    (Not sure if you have it still)
    9-CELL 85WHR LI-ION BATTERY (sounds like you have 2 of them maybe)
    DELL TRAVEL REMOTE CONTROL
