    Is it me or has this deal got even better since yesterday!?. The 15.4 screen size is now the default size at the low price of £289. A couple of days ago you had to pay an additonal £35 pounds to upgrade this from 14 to 15inches!?.

    They've taken away the smaller screen option, so it's 339.13 delivered for the cheapest one) I think!!

    A few people have mentioned the 'propose to cancel' in 7 days tactic for another discount. Does anyone know who should be contacted - is to better by phone or email and which number/mail address is best?

    Thanks
