Hi All

Slightly off topic.. Can anyone advise if this ACER laptop is good value if I can get it for £375? http://www.staples.co.uk/ENG/Catalog/cat_sku.asp?CatIds=,&webid=S383733&affixedcode=WW

ALSO how would these compare to similar priced Dell Notebooks?


Thanks in advance.

For 357 it's a steal, where are you getting it from?

I think if you could get that for £375 you've found yourself a good deal. As the Dell equivalent would by my estimates be at least £500 (thats putting in a low estimate, I'd probably say £570 to £600 price tag, but that would include the Dell reputation with it).

I think it's obvious it's a bargain since it's getting that laptop with over 60% reduction

If I was looking for a laptop and was offered that at £375 I'd buy it (obviously I mean new as if it's not new I'd expect that sort of mark down anyway so it's not really that special)

Hope this helps,

yeap.. comet have limited stock for £299 (1-2 in each shops).
I also got £20 discount on the laptop because i bought extra 2 years warranty.
Which i can cancel in the 1st month.

So the laptop costs for me £280 :rotfl:

If anyone like me purchased the laptop on the site for £329.99 before the in-store price reduction just email comet through their "ask a question" page on the site and tell them it is cheaper in-store and they will refund the difference back onto your card.

For £300, is this laptop worth it? I was going to get a Dell one for £350 (ex P+P) and would be prepared to pay this if it made a significant difference. However, as I am a student, and will only really using it to word process/browse the web, is the Acer one suitable? Would the battery be easy to replace this time next year when inevitably its a bit worn out? I'd be prepared to spend £30 or so updating the RAM if needs be.
Thanks
