New laptop

welshpiper

Looking to buy a laptop for approx £450 mainly for browsing the web and playing Football Manager. I have seen the following for £479 and I can get 10% off via the VIP club.

Is it a good buy or is something else better available ?

I can't see the spec of the laptop you are talking about.

But I think this Lenovo is one of the best spec for the money

I'm also looking at a Dell laptop. My question is, is the discount genuine and truly ending at 18 December 2013 (latest offer) or is a better deal likely to be on offer later?

many thanks
