    Was it the nc-10?

    If it's what I'm thinking maybe this will help....... http://www.flattelly.co.uk/shop/samsung-nc10-black-grade-a1npnc10ka02uk-p-12091.html

    thanks for this. yes, it was the nc10. argos have the 6 cell version with 12 month warranty for £239 so will probably go with them.

    As you are financial adviser I find it odd that you think a retailer should supply goods whatever it costs them and I do think you got an honest explanation.

    Check it before you buy it, it's wasn't the 6 cell version in the box for a while recently. (read the reviews on the website). I had one opened instore before I paid and it wasn't as advertised. I bought mine from ebuyer in the end.

    i am not a consumer expert. i thought that when i purchased and paid for this netbook that debenhamelectrical (bid) had an obligation to do all it can to supply. they said that it was impossible to supply which it clearly isn't as the same netbook is available at argos today for £20 more. 'subject to availability' is their get out of jail clause i suspect.

    even if they had stock, they could for any reason whatsoever, cancel your order. See distance selling regulations 2000.
