Laptops Direct any good? Maybe BHS?

Hey
I have seen a laptop for sale with theses guys.
Its a refurb.

I really need most of the spec and can not afford a new one.

Laptops direct and bhs are selling a similar model.
Are they in any way connected?

I have checked the forums and heard some horror stories...

I've dealt with them in the past and had no problems (Laptops Direct) You'll always get good and bad reviews with any company, even Harrods ! Just because you don't like them doesnt mean everyone else has to ! Maybe the 16 reviews on the same day are because they are busy at the moment ?

Is it worth he risk?
Should I go to BHS there is very little about them.

Its a samsung lappy by the way.

    I bought a refurbished laptop from Big Pockets ( home of the famous bag o' crap!), and was very pleased with it.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.

    Just make sure you pay with a credit card (if you have one of course), that way, extra peace of mind.
