The Great 'Cheapest Decent Laptop' Hunt

Gfx, I think, is a shortend version of Graphics...

Dell say they will deliver, but a day before that delivery date you will receive a letter telling you it's been delayed another week. This will happen for about a month.

With regard to Froggy's query- i think thats a very good price for that computer. Hubby and me found the self same one in Staples yesterday for £318, and that was with £30 off.
At least with John Lewis you get good service and a two year guarentee- we will be buying this laptop from them this week when i get paid!

I'm looking to upgrade my old Toshiba laptop. Set my heart on a Sony Vaio. This one seems pretty good:

Not sure on the graphics card though.

Not bad but your just paying the extra cash for the name as far as sony vaio goes. What about this one: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/158885 better spec and much cheaper. Or was there a reason you needed a good graphics card? A gamer perhaps?

You won't want to be playing games on a laptop anyway - unless you want to fry eggs on it

Even my current Toshiba laptop plays games.

Acer Aspire One A150L / Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz / 1GB / 120GB / 8.9" / Linux / NetBook / Blue (LU.S050A.074)

£159.99 Free Delivery

from Play.com, and don't forget the 0.5% cashback at Quidco. This is slightly better than then recent Dixons/Curry offers due to the fact that it's not a refurb and it has 1gb of RAM, whereas the Dixons/Currys offer though cheaper was a refurb with just 512mb of RAM.

Here's the link:
