    I just had to pick one of these up; here are the reasons:

    1) It has a Pentium M chip (instead of cheaper Celeron M chip) which means the battery life will be WAY better, with the ability to run a bit faster too.
    2) It has WiFi built in, and the latest intel I915 chipset (better than SIS/VIA/ALI/Nvidia)
    3) It has a great, bright, 15" Widescreen
    4) It has a DVD burner built in
    5) It is incredibly Cheap!!!! £398.40 for all this?? Try to match the spec on the net...

    You might want to add (at a later date) a memory upgrade, as 256MB is a little miserly - but it should only cost 30-40 quid. And what's more, you may not find you actually really need it.

    Hope this info is useful...

  • Wonder if I can get one in Kent?

    And let me guess; you only need to visit him in Amsterdam to pick it up... if you can get out of the boot of his car!

    I went to the extra store near raynes park, surrey.

    No 3613 laptops but had the 4021, no sign up to say reduced, and were advertised at £568

    Took it to customer services and they rung it up for 399....Bargain!

    Hi welshman,

    Is that the New Malden Extra store next to the Krispy Kreme Donut Drive-thru? Did they have any more in stock? (If not, I'll go just for the donuts... :whistle: )

    OK - Just spent 20 mins deciding on satnav. They have:

    Tom Tom One 300, 500 and 700 at 230, 290 and 340 respectively.

    I bought the NAVMAN ICN 510 FOR £160 ish, they also had the cheaper navman at 130 quid.

    Some PDA's as well, but sold out...

    Could you just confirm that the price of the TomTom One and GO 300 are the same at £230? You've got four items and only 3 prices...

    Sorry, its the Tom Tom 300 (I thought its "Tom Tom One 300" as thats what the tesco card said).
    Being bored is so boring Im bored of it... :rotfl:
  • Yes that's the one and they appeared to have quite a few, but were seling quick.

    They are in the acomputer accessories aisle, just take an empty box to customer services

    Anyone got the navman icn 510? Is it good osr should I have opted for paying extra 70 for tom tom 300?

    What are good sites for free maps/updates etc?

    Cheers

    I'd like to know this also as i know nothing about Sat Navs but am looking for one.Is the Navman stand alone as in just plug it in and it works(told you i don't know anything about them;))?

    The less to pay the better i suppose but then again if the Tom Tom 300 at £70 more is the better option over the Navman then i'd go for that instead:)
