    This was the laptop that I had found yesterday & was considering buying - never heard of ACER before though. Do you think it is worth getting?

    Acer are one of the bigger laptop manufacturers. I have an Acer laptop which I'm happy with. They also sell cheap extended warranties - much cheaper than shops provide. However I've head their customer service isn't always the best. Is it worth it? At that price yes - if it meets your needs.

    Thanks for your help - I have just gone to my local Tesco and got the laptop we discussed for £468 - daughter is delighted!

    They only had about three left on the shelves - so are selling fast! :T :j

    Have a look at the link for Comet as I thought you reckoned it was the same one?

    My friend's son has the one from Comet and is very happy with it, if that helps at all...

    Ah but that is Comet's online price, believe me if you can buy this instore in a Tesco and take it home with you it would be well worth the extra few pounds than spending several days waiting on Comet to deliver ;)

    Point taken though this is a 'cheapest' thread. Patience is a virtue ;)
