Originally posted by doodab View PostIs it still cheaper when you add on the VAT? I've found most things work out more expensive than sourcing them locally as the shipping is so much more.
Laptop cost £505
Shipping cost £55
Cost of new = £899
VAT on £560 = £112
Admin fee from post office = £25
Total = £697
Total saving £202
So yes, cheaper.
Item description is "New, unused" so it's not second hand. It does have a slight scratch on the lid though and the original packaging is missing.
If if does have any material on it other than the OOB operating system then it would not be "New/Unused".Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.Comment

So basically it's either a factory outlet type deal like Dell do, or an "unwanted gift" type thing from a private seller.
Don't forget you'll need a UK power supply for it.Comment
