do you still need a pc card with it to get wifi?

As much as I rate the Celeron-M processors I don't think this a great price. It's an OK price but not exceptional. As to £850 at Littlewoods thats a ridiculous price.

when i worked in a pc repair shop we had loads of cheap laptops and desktops from tescos and woolworths. Unless it is a brand like Acer you will have difficulty with the warranty as you have to send it via the store you bought it from, and according to the customers which bought their computers to us for repair, can take up to 2 months.

laptops - you really do get what you pay for. be warned when buying from Tescos.

To be honest, this shouldn't even be in quick grabbit because it isnt exactly a good deal.

i never knew that woolworths sold bread and milk ?

lol, i would change it to pick n mix but i dont think it would sound right... you should get the idea of what i mean.

Frankly, unless it was a stunningly good deal I wouldn't buy a computer from PC World.

Now.......if they started selling milk. That'd be a different kettle of fish altogether!

no, its got the wifi card built into it....obviously you'd need a wireless router/modem to get the benefit though.....

heymylastnameislewis

at first i would say its an ok deal, however with printer etc its a bit better as with all cheap laptops depends on what ur going to use it 4! light work itunes net etc no prob! web develpment gui creation may be a prob! lol but hey if ur buying from tesco ur prob just a light user so go 4 it and although it may be more diffecult to get it fixed, a few complaints at tesco will get u more that at pc world!

matty69_2

personally...I'd get a cheap acer laptop..and one of the many many many cheap all in one printers...you know ur gonna save money....

shame laptops can't be bought at the deli by weight.......
