Even without the extra code it was an extremely attractive offer but now it's pretty stunning. Think I will bag one myself tomorrow during the happy hours. Where did you hear about the voucher ML?

Lady_k, the accident cover for 1yr cost me about £35.

cameo, the voucher code has been posted on the HotUkDeals website.

Also guys my advice to you would be don't waste time as these offers tend to come and go...good luck!

Just wanted to say thanks for posting the info on that vostro deal everyone. Just bought one with a geforce for myself and my parents got the bog standard one and a carry case. Came in at 595 for the lot. Very happy. :beer:

Damn. I'm really annoyed i've missed out on that 10% deal. How often do Dell actually do deals like this?

Cheers

I am still a novice after eight years. Cameo said she "got a bog standard one for her parents". I imagine this is what I need but when I looked on Dell at the Vostro computers they seem to be for business customers only. I just need a basic laptop with a large screen and keys I can manage with my bad hands. All I do is surfing generally, reading/using forums, banking and a few letters. What would anyone suggest? Is it possible to get something for £300?

I keep an eye on cheap laptop deals for my site Support PCs. At the moment I think one from eBuyer is pretty hard to beat. http://www.ebuyer.com/product/140709. It's £269.97 inc VAT with free delivery. It only comes with Windows Vista Basic, but will be fine for general use. I think it's a good buy and would get it myself if I had the cash.

Is this a good deal?

i think that is decent for the price ^ it will do the job of basic pc stuff, unless you are looking to play 3d games or use editing progs etc, the dell one i am not too sure
