I have just managed to order one from the 0870 number after trying 3 times, bought the basic one but with screen upgrade and was offered 3 year warranty for £44 which i was pleased with so £380 all in.

hi all. my 2 laptops came today, absolutely thrilled with them, need more ram definitely, battery upgrade well worth it, but it comes with too much junk preinstalled, so i have tried installing a fresh copy of xp, but it isnt letting me , i keep having a problem with a blue screen coming up, saying if this is the first time you are seeing this screen, restart, if not, it mayvbe a driver problem, anyone got a way around this? and suggestions more than gratefully appreciated.

thanks in advance.

It anyones interested iv got the direct number to the guy that I ordered my laptop with on monday. Seemed a nice guy who didnt go overboard with the selling of ungrades. Not sure if hes still accepting orders for it, but you could give him a go if your having no joy. Just PM me

well, just tried getting through and did first time to the 0870 number and ordered it no problem, upgraded the screen to the 15.4". They do give the hard sell with the warranty but just kept saying no, thats see if it arrives!!

I've sent an email this afternoon with the spec on that I'd asked for (upgraded battery and screen), and been given a booking reference number. I emailed back this afternoon confirming that all was correct and that I am happy to proceed with the order but as yet have heard nothing back. Do you reckon I'll still get it?

You should get a pdf in email tomorrow.
