Well, we couldn't resist the bargain of a laptop being only £199, so hubby and I went down to PC World (even though I loathe the place and its staff!!) before they opened only to be told they were all gone and they are having 10 delivered tomorrow!!! They are opening at 7.30am and will be giving out 'vouchers' to the 'lucky' first 10. Yeah right, sounds like a con to me - don't think I will be setting my alarm to get out of bed to get it that early!!!

Just to let you know that it is a legal requirement that PC World have 20 of these laptops to sell at every store, 10 on the 26th and 10 on the 27th. If a particular store don't have enough of the laptop in question, they have to offer the model above in order to deliver a total of 20.

Personally I wouldnt touch the Packard Bell computer with a bargepole. You get far better value fron an independent on the net,like this MESH:-

the processor is better and faster, larger hard disk ... the list goes on.
Also I have found MESH customer support alot better than PC Worlds which is a joke of a customer service. Then again ALL of the DSG stores have crap Customer Services.

thoreau and all the other people who hate DSG.

They are a BUSINESS not a voluntary organisation. - If you're not happy with your purchase there are ways and means to escalet things and in the uk generally thier practices are LEGAL.
In this respect they are very like many large organisations.

There are plenty of people who like the place and are happy to shop there.
If you are nice to the staff 9 times out of 10 they are nice back, however if you are a bit of an !!!!! to them - what do you think they'll do???

Nobody has ever forced you into going into the store. Nobody has ever forced you into buying something. For pete's sake make your own mind, but at least read the facts and comprehend them a little.

Sorry if this sounds a bit blunt but there you have it

Did you become a member just to say this, nice first post:eek: And you resurrected a thread from a year ago just to have a go? TROLL ALERT...

More crap spec laptops sold at the price they should be with people getting over excited about them. Sound slike last year's formula, no thanks. The laptops will be slow by today's standards and good for little more than web browsing and word processing, spreadsheets, smallish databases etc etc.

Why is this year old thread here and being linked with this years bargains by an admin????
