    AAAAAAAAGH !!!!!!

    terms include - In the unlikely event that the goods are not available we will do everything we can to get the product from another PC World store or find you an acceptable alternative.

    I suggest they find you an alternative laptop then at the same price !

    we got one :) from stockport! bit of a faff as the woman cocked up on the till but 45 mins in the queue later we got our laptop

    Took me a while as well, the laptop was coming up at 1p:eek: They sorted it out though:rolleyes: All the staff said they weren't even allowed to have one at that price and that I was very lucky. Can't thank you enough op - I said I didn't want one but it will be the perfect pressie!

    Just opened my box. On the full spec of the base laptop it sais that Norton Internet Security (NIS) is included, but no sign of it anywhere. There is a sticker on the front of the laptop for NIS and also for Power Cinema though

    I know that there was a separate option to purchase NIS it at the same time as a separate purchase, which I unticked as I saw that the base product had it included.

    Does anyone else who managed to get this have anything different? Also did anyone get any XP CD's ?

    Thanks, Tony

    I saw an advert for pcworld this morning- not for this laptop but when I went to the site it was there and I got lucky. Chap on desk asked me if I'd been hovering on the net.

    I picked it up earlier <whoopee> .No cds with it, but if you look in the manual it tells you to make copies using dvd creator. Can only make one copy.

    I selected the laptop, followed instructions i.e. add to basket then move etc
    but when I click on add to basket it came up with this

    Don't spend five pounds to dry clean a shirt. Donate it to the charity shop instead. They'll clean it and put it on a hanger. Next morning buy it back for two pounds.

  • Does anyone think the desktops will be available tomorrow? I got in too late to try for a laptop but would be interested in the half price desktop one.
    If I had known then what I know now . . .

    yea, I gathered that, I was expecting the offer not to be there or some kinda message telling you that the offer had expired, but not this
    I jthought i would try selecting other items, and never got that error message, instead it went into the basket.
