Yeah, Windows 7 is definitely worth going for - you won't need to shell out much money these days for a laptop so don't let them upsell you! I've always been a fan of Dell laptops so always worth checking out what deals they've got going. Hopefully catch you over the festive season - will be in touch!

Not sure about the charging model, I don't think it's been officially announced yet (could be wrong) but I'd expect it to be priced suprisingly closely to Amazon's offerings...
