    Take it back. It's not worth £400. It that how much you paid?



    Long story but ended up paying 339 for it which I thought was ok. Do you think it is ok for that price or is the Fujitsu better? Hoping to negotiate a further discount because it doesn't have the Bluetooth but don't know how much it would cost to purchase one that will be suitable for the laptop.

    It's really nothing special. £350 at PLAY

    The Fujitsu has similar spec(inferior processor, but still ok) but does have Bluetooth. Was only £280 yesterday.
    DABS also do a Trade-In if you have an old laptop.

    Here are some pictures of the Fujitsu.

    If you decide to keep the ACER and TESCO offer you some cash back, use the cash on this Warranty Extension Program

    TBH I think I'll probably stick with the Acer but thanks TakeThis for your recommendation. I've also had the clubcard points on this. I did go through Quidco when I placed my original order but unfortunately it never tracked!

    Still need some advice on which USB Bluetooth will be suitable for it.

    Thank you

    Then at least purchase the warranty. It covers you for accidental damage and extends the normal warranty to 3 years.

    The problem with the dongle recommended earlier, is that it probably won't work with Windows 7 64bit.

    You'll need to purchase extra software in order to get it to work or simply buy a dongle that is certified to work with Windows 7 64bit.

    Not necessarily. Have you tested it with Windows 7 64bit?

    Not all will work, though I guess £1 is not too much to risk. Purchase here

    I have a poundshop bluetooth dongle running on Windows 7 and it works fine with no addtional software. Funnily enough it's on a rubbish, useless Acer machine!

    BTW my Acer has been fine for 2 years - glad you decided to keep it!
