Could I add the 512mb card to the 256 card in the basic model please? or is that not compatible?

Yes you can

Ordered upgraded laptop via monkeyspanner route on Friday but am having a nightmare with customer services. I have been unable to locate my order on their web site using the internet receipt no. and didn't have an order no. until I phoned them this morning to check my order had gone through. The Indian lady said the order was not being processed (although I'd had the e-mail confirmation) and she'd phone me back at tea time. When I got a phone call back I was told I couldn't have what I'd ordered at the price I'd ordered it and would have to speak to sales. After being passed around 6 staff the last one pretended she couldn't hear me, shouted at me to ask if I was deaf and said she could not hear me and that if I didn't reply she'd hang up, which she did!

All I want is the laptop I ordered at the price I ordered it, £339.13 (I didn't upgrade the batttery).

Is there any customer services number that works?

I had a simler chase around when I tried to order my notebook last month. I complained to customer services and had avery nice Irish lady called me back. she sorted it out immedeatly, and sent me a spare battery (at my suggestion) for my trouble..
direct line 0870 907 5924 Emma Jane Kiernan. Hope this helps Bri...ps IM using the notebook now as i have for three weeks and Im very pleased with it...

I couldn't find a laptop this cheap, is the offer finished now? I think it was almost £400 when I tried.

Just had another look at these deals and here for what its worth is a summary.

The basic deal with CDR/W DVD combo and no WIFI has disappeared and
N03135a and N03135b are discontinued.

There are 7 deal codes I can find which build on the base code of N03135. Of these I think there are two pairs of identical offerings with different codes and in one case substantially different prices (please post correction if I have missed something with these specs). The prices of each code are different in some cases if accessed from Home or Small Business systems this seems to be down to whether free delivery is offered.

The codes in order of increasing spec are (prices given include vat and delivery and have been adjusted to 90 days collect warantee).

I hope this helps to identify the best deals for which I have used italics against each code.

It's post 132 if you want to thank Monkeyspanner for such an epic post

The answer to your question is NO. The offers still work as in previous posted list.
