Trust me, you won't.

Do you have a quidco account? Can get another couple of quid off that way.

I do yes, the only concern i have is why cant i find this on the likes of pc world, john lewis and other well known electrical companies. Ideally prefer to get it from them and see if they price match

Specialist computer suppliers cut their margins to the bone so you are unlikely to find the usual tricks that work with traditional retailers. The traditional retailers have higher margins which can then be cut down with the usual vouchers/cashback etc but you are unlikely to find better prices than the specialists.

There are so many variations in specs on laptops. The likes of PC World and JL tend to offer machines which cut corners on the spec e.g. lower powered CPU, or skimp on RAM. Not everyone would be aware of this, and pay over the odds for an inferior spec machine.
tbh I doubt JL would price match, as even if they did offer the same make/model of laptop. they'd claim that the spec was different anyway - e.g. slight difference in memory etc.

Let's hope that you don't feel the need to start a new thread on exactly the same subject tomorrow.

Just use the ones you have already initiated.
