    the trouble with an ebay laptop invariably is the battery :( and the screen hinges. even wehn sellers claim its a new laptop.... if I could get one with a guaranteed couple hrs battery and a screen that doesnt fall off Id go for it....

    unless your playing games then dedicated graphics really doesnt give you anything. your going to need to spend Id guess 600+ for a dedicated gfx chip (not shared memory gma etc). better off getting a desktop then.

    btw FYI a friend of mine has ordered "6" in one order for his family/work colleagues etc
    and they are in "production" on the dell tracker!, went via small business and asked for the £299 inc price from the offer

    I saw the advert for te £299 laptop in todays mail. Went to the dell website and typed in the evalue code. The laptop comes in at £339 - sorry but this is a scam and dell should be had up before the trading standards. I will be complaining to them.

    this offer has never worked frm any of the dell websites. otherwise none of us would be calling up hun!!!

    it definitely sounds to be down to the salesperson! i might try a couple more times.

    Good luck kinkkano, fingers crossed for you. I've stopped trying, it was just making me angry.

    I know but I'd thought I'd just try - they give out a code and web address on the offer so you SHOULD be able to order it from there. I'm not gonna waste my time trying to phone them but I hope those who are have some luck. I wouldn't hold my breath though.
