Sorry guys but I can't figure out the E-value code system. What way should I enter the code for this bargain laptop? No matter which way I try to break up the code in the two input boxes, I can't seem to get it to work.

Which text goes in which of the two boxes, please?

I think Dell have closed this one down as it was maybe an error.

The cheapest now is £348 for the Inspiron 1300

The codes N03135b and N03135a have been deleted.

N03136 in small business still works for £339 - includes bigger screen and 512 RAM. (credit to Monkeyspanner - see http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?p=1788065#post1788065 )

Thanks for that, Chuffy, but I can only get it to £289 plus VAT and shipping. If shipping is £50, that takes it to £398. Am I doing something wrong?

Not strictly true, under Sale of Goods Act, the seller has a responsibility for faulty parts for up to 6 years - different parts have different life spans. It is also the sellers responsibility to cover the costs of collection and return.

Twaddle people keep quoting this 6 years and it alot more complicated, you have to proove the fault was there when you bought the item so how do you do the 5 years down the line ? , the seller also only has responsablity for return costs for a certain period of time 28 days is the norm but alot go beyond that and cover under the whole warranty.

I signed up for a small business account (genuine'ish) and got a £60. reduction on carriage, total £350.88. I am still wavering about ordering though. Not because of the value but not sure of the reaction of 'she who must be obeyed'.

I went for the better battery on my pricing. I'm torn between ordering now , for daughter going to Uni in Oct, and waiting so its new when she goes. If I wait the 90 days runs out and and I might not get such a good deal again.

now im really pi**ed off!!! My hubby bought the inspirion 630M this week, i searched for codes but couldn't find any so paid £602. Now found a code & could have got it for £480

He's only had it for 2 days. Do you think we should send it back?
Helppppppppp

Ring them up and tell them why you are thinking of returning it, quite often they'll give you an incentive to keep it

Chuffy

could ring them up and tell them you want to return - within your rights (distance selling regulations) - they will offer you a discount. If they don't you will have to pay for return costs which are approx £50 + vat. If you re-order you are still £60 better off. You can't really lose.
