    Well... I have just arrived home from Staples for the 2nd time today. The manager was very understanding when I first spoke to him but didnt seem to want to budge on the matter, so I visited the store in person and BINGO he changed his mind and offered me a different laptop of the same value which unfortunately they didnt have any in stock with similar specifications, so he let me have one that cost £100 more and is better specs and made by Asus at no extra cost and went and collected it from a different branch himself!!! I am in shock to say the least.
    Id like to thank everyone on here for thier fantastic advice and support and im in no doubt that the advice and my printed off copy of the Sale of Goods act 1979 helped me no end with my battle so thanks for that aswell.
    Il be very wary about buying early next year unless I get it written on the receipt that it is a xmas gift!
    Thanks once again everyone.

    :T :T Fantastic result. What did I say make a nuisance of yourself lol. Well done you.:beer: :j

    I know thats what was thr driving force today, I wasnt taking no for an answer. The manager got someone else to ring me to tell me he couldnt help me further so I know straight away he wasnt one for confrontation(not that I am either mind) and that my only chance was to go to the store and baffle hinm with my new found knowledge, which I did, I must of done something right as he was bending over backwards for me by the time I left.
    I felt 6 foot tall when I left the store lol

    I didn't read your sorry tale until it had been concluded but I'm with the "armed with the SOGA and making a nuisence of oneself" brigade that gets results. Well done you and I'm glad your daughter is a happy bunny.
