    Hi, I'm also looking for a bank holiday deal for a laptop. I take it we have until midnight to order the Dell laptop with £70 off. I like that one, but resent paying £50 delivery charge.

    I'd really like one of those TV cards that you can put in the laptop and get freeview. Do they work on any laptop? Anyone know if there are any deals going with a free TV card?

    Also, we have a D-link router, will this be fine with most laptops? I don't know how to find out and have no manual with it.

    Don't know how this compares but saw it in one of yesterday's papers.
    Fits your basic description and at £399 inculdes "dual layer DVD" (a bonus ?)

    Gateway Intel Celeron M 1.5GHz wireless laptop with dual layer DVD re-writer and 14” widescreen.

    I bought one of these from the toys r us in Leicester on Saturday, they only had 2 left though. It has a dvd writer and a fancy bright view screen and the battery lasted for approximately 3 hours yesterday when I was downloading updates, virus checkers etc... its defintely worth a look. Also I signed up for a Gold card which had double points so in July I have approx £150 of product vouchers coming my way :D Hopefully they'll be for items that my friends kids will like.

    Happy hunting
