Whats the speed of this laptop. I was also suprised an A100 was selling for this much, but then noticed the lack of information regarding speed...and the fact it wasn't a pro. Whats the difference between an A100 satellite and A100 satellite pro?

Help appreciated.

Please for the love of God, help me, it's not my fault I'm a retard. My threads never get any replies unless I go full force and bombard my own thread with replies! :rotfl:

Looks like its a 1.6GHz duo core 2 with 533MHz front side bus

Now to find out what difference the pro makes...if any!

PeteHerts

As far as i can see the its just that some sellers dont put the Pro in

ChabbyAlonso

I don't think it would be that simple, does anybody have an idea?

PeteHerts

Check on Toshiba's offical site

Cant find anything, other than laptops in the Satellite range, and laptops in the Satellite Pro range.

And I'd like some advise on if this is a good deal. I'm planning on buying it in the following structure...

Deposit (10%) £60.99

Monthly instalments (36) £19.78
Total payable £773.07

PeteHerts

To be honest i'd spend £51 more and try and get credit on the link below because its alot better spec machine in every way and just been reduced from £799.99 to £649.99.
Also you can collect instore so the price of the delivery is saved.

I'm not planning on paying upfront. A payment scheme of less than £20 a month with no more than 20% interest is what I'm after.

I'm 19 by the way, without a job (but I do gamble online)...so paying a huge amount in one isn't what I'm after!

Quality spec laptop by the way, you reckon Comet would accept a similar credit proposal to that of dabs?

PeteHerts

If Dabs accepted you then i shouldnt see why Comets wouldnt and i know there is a Comet Card as a friend of mine just bought a laptop on it.

Here's a link to the rates but im not sure if this is the same as the card
