You would have to be some kind of mental midget to buy from DELL.

"I have a problem with my laptop"

"when you shake it does it make noise please sir"

"no, no noise"

"OK, mr dell is very happy that it does not make noise and you should be able to login now, we are very happy to have shopped you with DELL, good day sir"

As a counterpoint to pzz, I've never had an HP laptop that didn't fail at some point.

The HP printer I have is marvellous though...

No tulip, and in not in any way a counter to MM, my HP laptops have been fine but I have a LJ4+ and a 1200c multi that need fixing.

My Cannon MP240 multi has works like a dream, despite being forced through appox 25 airports and countries etc.

Of course this is going to be a better spec laptop as it is in a higher price bracket.

I paid £539 (incl VAT) for a brand new laptop with the below specs.

Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor T6400 (2GHz) with 800MHz FSB with 2MB Cache/3GB DDR2 800MHz RAM/320GB SATA 5400RPM HDD/13.4” HD (1366 x 768) SuperBright© Gloss LED 16:9 Display/256MB DDR3 Dedicated NVIDIA GeForce G 105M

IMHO, it is a good spec for the price - by all means, please post links to laptops with a better spec for the price!

Hi there,


Just wondering what laptop to buy willing to spend around 400-600pounds since it goes on expenses not to bothered about a massive screen or for gaming but none the less a decent one ??

You know you want a Lenovo W700DS

How much extra is the on site for 1 laptop approximately??

The kids may get a Dell each for Christmas if they tidy their rooms before then.

Just been checking... upgrade time is coming up for me

Looks like it could be "free" if you spend over ~£600 on a laptop although that doesn't include accidental damage which is about £240 on a >£1500 laptop
Which is good, I had to haggle for mine to be included in the price 2 years ago and that was on a top spec precision.

Still, best off checking with the sales drones first and get everything in writing. They can be flexible on the price if you're spending a bit.

You have to pay extra for the onsite engineer (warranty and accidental) but as my butter fingers will testify its worth it and its enough to keep me buying Dell equipment.
I don't want to have to either send my laptop off for repair or take it back to the shop and then wait x days for it to come back (with a bill). The dell guys always come with enough spares to replace anything that might have also broken.

On a positive note: the contractor that sits next to me had a fault on his Dell the other day, Dell sent someone round to fix it later in the afternoon. Hows that for service??
