    Jack, BP have a 3 month warranty on most laptops, for anything up to an extra £100.00 is it worth it for 12 months warranty, answer yes.

    I'm willing to go up to £300.00 as my maximum, providing it has a 12 month warranty from any supplier.


    Ahh...right...slightly upped your spec and choice, then.......hang on...

    I have a dodgy "i" key, so ignore spelling errors due to "i" issues, ...I blame Apple :D

    Yes Jack, I've decided for an extra few ££££ I may as well have a new one, but as I say, £300.00 must be my maximum, however, anything lower would be great ;)
