Well done for coming back on and posting. Most people would have legged it :D

Well, a £2 difference between the two isn't hardly going to leave me hiding behind the sofas!

Plus your one hasn't even got Vista, but like I said before, I couldn't care about that, but Vista is a good £50+ to buy. Although yours does boast 66 more GHz

On second thoughts, that one you presented before the court...'the thread court' if you will...is a shambles!

I declare my Dell undefeated :T

Oh dear, here we go again....

You didn't click the link did you?

Acer Aspire 5633WLMI Core 2 Duo T5500 1.66GHz 120GB 1GB Ram 15.4"TFT DVD±RW Windows XP Media Center - Free upgrade to Vista Premium

And it has a 5 in 1 card reader, and it has a 1.3 mega pixel camera.......



Edit:
#I suppose I should add. I didn't attempt to show the Ebuyer one as a fantastic deal, I merely wanted to find a similar spec'd machine for similar money :)

note: I think you are getting you giga's and mega's mixed up.

The free upgrade is in the title...oops, I did click the link!

I shamefully declare myself beaten...again!

Find me a fantastic deal then...I reckon it would get over a thousand degrees on hotukdeals and about 100 thanks on MSE :rotfl:

Edit* Yeah, mean't to be 66MHz extra! The desktop I'm using now has got 120 odd MB memory, Pentium 3 processor & runs at a colossal 0.5GHz!!!!!1

Having had to return laptops to both Dell and Ebuyer, I would say that Ebuyer customer services and their returns procedures are superior by far to Dells...and Ebuyer aren't the best by a long shot. The Dell is probably ok if it doesn't go wrong....but if you need to contact CS for ANY reason then god help you.
