The £249.99 (£224.99 with promo code) laptop is more than adequate for surfing the net and doing your uni work. So i personally would go for it as it's cheaper.

Same here, I telephoned today and was told it was too late to cancel so I either had to take it back to the store or refuse delivery when it arrives. Does anyone know how they come packaged, it's a present for my dad so I'm hoping it comes covered!

What number did you telephone? I don't know if I am brave enough to refuse delivery, but there's a Woolworths a few miles away...

Just explain why you're refusing it to the delivery driver. I've had to do this before when I tried to cancel something and it still came and the delivery driver was fine about it. Just say that you'd cancelled the order and that Woolies said it's already been despatched and to not accept the delivery :cool:

Nooooooo! they are sold out of the silver model! Im a guy who tends to use this in University so a Pink one is a big no no!

Dam I bookmarked it last night as it was late and returned today with my card in front of me and its sold out!

Do you reckon its likely to be back in stock soon? considering the amount of cancellation orders ive seen on here

sherbie28

I'll be sending one back so I don't know what the turn around will be.

Hello,

On the more expensive model could someone explain what the numbers mean after the wireless LAN bit, It's just that on the description in my invoice of the first model it states it is wireless but doesn't on the second one. Right at the bottom of the woolworths page on the £299.99 it has 'Wireless LAN 802.11g'. Thanks
