Toshiba Laptop £199 New !!!

GunJack

Guys, for anyone looking for a standard laptop, just seen this on argos, net cost after the £100 cashback for trading in your old one is £199

This'll be plenty good enough for everyday use (web, mail, school, etc...) if I had a spare couple of hundred I'd get one meself

edit - make it £249, this model falls in the £50 cashback, NOT £100

Darn - at £199 it looked tempting...

I think you are supposed to put this in the Grab it now section.....

It doesn't look to me that this C650-1CN model even qualifies for £50 cash-back, since the closest qualifying model on the Toshiba website appears to be the Satellite C650D-126. Am I wrong?

JG - if you read the text next to the description on the cashback page, it's the 650/650D range listed, so it should cover this model....I did check twice after finding it was only £50, not the £100 as advertised on the argos website

OK, thanks - hope you're right if someone is interested!

Hmm...
Just been to the trade in page and banged in a few different models. If you've got anything running a Pentium-M CPU, you'll get £50 cashback due to its age. Not quite sure what Toshiba have on the go but they've obviously got a resale scheme already set up.

flicking through the trade-in criteria, it had to be less than 4 yrs old, with charger, and in reasonable cosmetic condition (no screen/kbd damage). Tosh have partnered with Tier 1 online (based Manchester if I remember correctly) to refurb and sell on. Have seen some Tier 1 stuff on ebay, and they grade the lappys in the advert - seen them sell some reasonable stuff.
