Might I suggest you both edit your posts to remove the website/company name from your posts and in future just report spam posts, otherwise the spammers post is still visible to all in your reply long after the original post has been removed.

Would someone give me an opinion on this company and the laptop I'm looking at please?

Morgan Computers

The other one I'm checking out is this one
PC World

What's the opinion? Is it wise to buy a re-worked laptop? Or should I stick to buying brand new?

Thanks in advance for replies

Not sure about re-furb laptops but Morgan are OK I bought & collected a Fuji digi camera from them a few years ago supposedly grade a but I think was brand new. They used to post me their offers every month or so, a pal bought a Palm Treo phone from them with no-probs.

I bought my new Tosh from this lot http://www.cclonline.com/product-listings.asp?category_id=311&manufacturer_id=290


I wouldn't go to PC World for anything

Hello,

I just thought you may want to see this that i have ordered at dell online, the upgrade from 250to320 hard drive is too end on the 24/6, but ever since i placed the order i cant find the it online and the page i was using has been updated.

I did spk to this on guy there who may able to help if anyone was to call him. He also offered me a 7in1 card reader as an incentive to order straight away. But a little dicky bird told me that the laptop may allready have a 2in1 build in. So i ordered via quidco 6% off, allthough its been two days now its not being tracked.

IM not sure if if i am allowed to leave the sales guys stuff on the post, sorry in advance pls edit as you wish

Ps ive ordered it so pls pls pls let me know if was an ok deal.

Its only for home use, as my desktop in ok but about 5yrs old. i will only really need it for internet usage.

Looks ok but for 30 quid more you could have got a studio 15 with some decent gfx

Jaffa.

There's always something better for a little bit extra - but if you keep doing that you're going to end up with one expensive laptop. And at the end of the day, it's only a laptop

Hi, ok so explain gfx to me like im a 5yr old lol!: to be honest i just looked at other laptops under £400, and this one seemed to have more gb hard drive and that processer thing seemed to be ok when i asked a couple of other non tech mates.

Does anyone know what sort of time true scale dell deilver in, as there telling me anytime before 9/7
