I've decided on buying this laptop:
acerdirect.co.uk/Acer_Aspire_Timeline_3810TG_Windows_7_Laptop_LX.PE702.016/version.asp

The link above is the cheapest I can find by a good £150, do you guys think this is too good to be true?

Thanks in advance :)

    99% of this is in the company favour or unenforceable.

    Very little customer protection, just company cop out
