Low spec - add the VAT & shipping... not that cheap.

Well you could have mine for a bit more cash.

Well they have the order watch facility when you log into your account, but the delivery date shown is approximate - they usually arrive sooner. Your laptop order will now be sent to Dell's manufacturing plant, then put into pre-production, then production and finally dispatch. It takes 5-7 working days from dispatch. I ordered my mate's one over the weekend and it'll be there Saturday - the courier rang them early this morning.

Hi! New member here.

Does anyone have any new Dell e-value codes for Laptops?


I'm toying between a Sony and an Acer in the £850 range,
but it'd be great to have a deal on a Dell instead...

Not at the moment, but I'll get back to you... what's your requirement and budget? Sony's are good, but pricey.
