Acer Aspire 5551A for £271.98 delivered. Not particularly exciting. But new, so you can pair it with this Acer Advantage 3 Year Collect & Return Warranty, including accidental damage cover for £29.99.
£301.97 all in.
Seeing as the 2GB Fujitsu is now around £300, it's not too bad.
They've a few machines around the £250 mark if you want to keep your spending down.

This Samsung is ok for £280 and even better if you have a suitable Trade-In.

Finally bit the bullet, this one is back in stock at Sainsburys online

Samsung NP-RV511-A07UK Intel Core i3 Processor 3GB 320GB Sadly the £50 cash back offer seems to have finished

£349 less £10 using code given on topcashback and 2.02% cashback and £7 worth of nectar points. Got to be a good buy I think at about £325. Done and dusted at last!

I would say, specification wise, it is just as good; if not a little better. Plus, with Windows 7 Professional, it may be possible to use Windows XP Mode.

Has similar functions including expandability using ExpressCard, the latest Bluetooth, HDMI, eSATA...

Haven't actually seen one, but certainly worth a closer look.

Have to say that it is really nothing about which to write home. Really an unremarkable specification.

I would actually prefer the cheaper Samsung above, even with it's lesser specified processor.

It seems fine for me The above samsung would actually be more expensive as I dont have a trade in? - havent they based the discount on £175 for an old lap top plus £50 cash back? The cash back claim says you have to have bought it before 1 November (you have to end of November to claim it). So actually its £330 not £280

No, the price after CashBack is £279.99, so it's a fair bit cheaper than you suggest.
The £125 Trade-in would take it down to £154.99.

Nothing wrong with your machine. Just unremarkable. The cheaper Samsung deal is better IMO.

The £50 cash back wont be valid if bought after 1 November, so actually £330.

Strange: They seem to have confused eligibility with the date by which you are able to claim?


* Includes £50.00 cashback. Valid until 30/11/2011.


Claim £50 Cashback when you purchase a qualifying Samsung notebook from Box.
But hurry, the offer is only available while stocks last!
Purchases of the qualifying Samsung notebook made from qualifying resellers during the promotional period (1st September 2011 – 30th October 2011) are eligible to claim.
