    I managed to get £15 off the blue one, I felt I couldnt push it for the £30 because when I checked my order online it stated the N270. So I am quite happy with that offer.

    ETA it is on sale at £269 now!!

    Just phoned Tesco Direct and mentioned the incorrect processor and got offered £30 refund so thanks for the tip
  • I remember reading out the description to my OH as 270, so I won't be complaining; any way this was a wonderful brilliant find, thanks so much to the OP- we are very grateful it is ace.

    Does anybody else find it interesting that we are getting different amounts for the refund? Varying from £15 to £30. We were told the maximum they could offer (on the blue) was 10%, worked out to £15. Surely Tesco should have some standard for this? Or does it just come down to how polite we are, and which Customer Service agent we get.

    I bought one of these cases. Very nice but note, it is a VERY snug fit so will probably buy a different one.

    Yes they are snug fit I got one today but not that one as it was out of stock day after I posted it on here

    Its due to the battery sticking out I ordered not realising the battery would stick out, I did check and double check the dimensions as well before ordering

    The gave me that option too, but I said I had already opened it up and installed AVG before I realised as I was packing the box away, so they offered me the 10%.. It is clearly a known issue as when I mentioned the laptop was not as described she aked was it an Acer. May be worth ringing again.
