    Check PC World and see what they offer. Laptops Direct prices aren't all that special TBH and sometimes they've been more expensive than PC World when they have a sale on.

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply, hoverver, it looks like PC World cannot match that offer.
    Cheapest deal i can see is the Sony Laptop on offer at £499, but £399 is the maximum i can spend.
    I have trawled the internet for the Acer Aspire 5613AWLMi and cannot beat that price at the moment.
    Thanks again.
