    I recommend buying a Dell laptop. My last one lasted 8 years. You will save money by buying well instead of having to replace the laptop in 1-2 years. Many codes out there for Dell as well.

    Happy shopping!

    I have just brought an Acer Aspire 5720-1A2G08Mi Laptop from www.acerdirect.co.uk (or www.laptopsdirect.co.uk ) Although they aren’t offering any money off I got the spec below for £299 which is much cheaper than any other website or store (for £299 most laptops only come with 1GB memory RAM). I brought a carry case for £17 and then got their free delivery option (normally £9.99), although this didn’t show up at the online checkout so I phoned them and they honoured it straight away. Ordered it on Wednesday and it arrived on Friday. They also rung the office where I work to verify my delivery address and check if I actually worked there which I thought was quite impressive.
