I wouldn't touch this - Fujitsu don't have a great reputation for long levity (build quality is poor generally) - Usually have Toshiba hdd's which aren't the best either.

Try the Dell outlet site - you can get a Dell with an better i3 1st gen CPU for not much more - better deal alround.

Dell Inspiron 15 N5040

£318? Certainly not a price match. The OP asked for sub £250.

There is a DELL with a P6200, though that is still £285.56.

Haven't seen any complaints about the build quality of that Fujitsu. More comments about it's solidity.
Have you experience with the AH530?

At least the DELLs are comparable at £285.

If he was looking for a £400 laptop, I might concur......but he isn't.

I know hence why I said refurbs are the OP's best option and I pointed out that I saw this which I believe to be good value.

Besides, your recommendation is OVER £250!

Not sure if its your maths or your reading!!!!!!!!

Actually it is £295 including delivery and VAT.

And yes in regard to the Fujitsu - it just continues with the manufacturer's poor quality build. And as for Dabs, do you seriously suggest that anyone should buy from them with their reputation for poor sales support?

Nearly 45% of reviews give them a score of 1 out of 5

Not by much. If you can find something comparable, even refurb for £250 or less, post it.

Wasn't my recommendation. I just produced a clicky link for someone else's suggestion.

Nevertheless, you will still be hard pushed to find similar spec at that price point. DELL Outlet comes close enough, so I concur with robmar0se that the OP also looks there.

Really?




Total excl. VAT VAT Rate Total incl. VAT
£246.38 20.00 % £295.66
Total Delivery Charge £18.33 20.00 % £22.00
Total Price £264.71 £317.65

I think you will find it is £295.66 excluding Delivery....unless you have a free delivery code.

Are we reviewing DABS or the Fujitsu AH530??

Can you point me towards any review that alludes to the AH530 having a poor build quality?
