I need to get a laptop on finance,as I don't have the funds readily available. I was going to get one from Dell but have read bad reviews on their finance. Can anyone suggest a good company,and also a good laptop to get? It needs to be quite small and light and will only be used for Internet browsing,ITunes and general household use,nothing heavy. Any help would be much appreciated,thanks :-)

have you thought about credit card instead of company finance, i only suggest this as finance through companies is usualy not that good of a deal
anyway laptop which is small light and only used for the total basics, have you thought of one of the 10 inch netbooks, never going to be super speedy but is small light and designed for web access and the other basics - usualy quite a bit cheaper than a normal laptopDrop a brand challenge
on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)0 -
Be very careful with finance there isnt really a 'good' company they are all out to charge you high amounts of interest on the little you borrow.
If you insist on finance it might be worth using Tesco who are supplied by Barclays or Comet who are supplied by Santander.0 -
PcWorld are also supplied by Barclays0

Maybe you don't need a new laptop.
Anything above 2 GHz CPU and 1 GB RAM would suit your stated use.0
