Pink Laptop under £500.....

wizzer

and nearer £400 for my daughter please? Any ideas?

Why do the have to have these girly colours....afterall it's not a fashion accessory she carries around?

Dell do one for about £400 but I'm not keen on Dell because of customer service problems in the past.

I've visited the normal internet retailers pc world, dixons comet etc but the colour always seems a problem.

If anyone can help please.
Thanks

Aldi had them in the other week as one of their specials, might be worth ringing round to see if they've any left. They had them in black or pink and the spec wasn't bad at all.

Thanks everyone.

Can anyone comment on the quality/reliability of the Medion (aldi) and Acer? I'm not sure what sort of reputation these makes have got.

Cheers

I have had my Acer for 20 months now and never had any problems with it

Not sure about Medion but they are covered for 3 years anyway.
