    Ive taken the plunge and ordered one as I am worried it may sell out b4 tomorrow morning . I am guessing they will ring me up to confirm delivery...if the specs are different then i will just ask them to cancel it.

  • When ordering this laptop, Comet give a "special" offer of just £17.49 for a laptop bag to go with it.

    I'm fairly sure that's not a good deal, but could anyone point to decent cheaper ones for sale instead?

    Thanks!

    No need , comet may decline payment, so you don't have to do anything. if they don't then.... donate it to charity. :A
