    OK here's the laptop deal, I've done this a few times, the cheapest I got it was £135.


    Buy this model as cheap as you can http://www.dabs.com/products/hp-probook-450-intel-core-i3-5010u-4gb-500gb-15-6--windows-7-professional-64-bit--k9k29et-abu--k9k29et-BMF6.html


    Important bit is Mfr#: K9K29ET


    You'll need to trade in an old XP computer (any age) or other qualifying device (under 6 YO) you might have, see T&Cs for a list but it's very easy to find a working XP desktop for £15 or under, it is better if it has the COA label on it but not strictly necessary. Many of us have a redundant XP in the loft etc.


    Buy your model then apply for the trade in money here https://tradeuptohp.com/gb/en/pages/tradein/home


    £150 for the K9K29ET.


    Then in a time period 30-60 days from purchase (put it in the diary) go here to claim another £50 http://www.hppromotions.co.uk/PromotionCat.aspx?cat=notebooks


    Plus you'll have used TCB for another £10 off or so.


    And the Amex savvy will have 800 Avios points on top = another £8.


    You could try using a code if you find one but it might negate the TCB/ Quidco.


    So currently £400 @ Dabs = about £180 real cost, but you could find it cheaper somewhere else. The various incentives change every month - which is how I got £250 cashback on my first 2 (plus the TCB/ Amex).


    How good is it? It's an Intel Core i3 with a really decent processor rating, CPU benchmark 3047.


    Compare it to your current computer:


    Get your current processor by - right click 'This PC', click 'properties', note your processor, stick it in google search with 'CPU benchmark'.


    You might be surprised how well this compares, you might not if you're on an i5 or better lol

    And I should add: the HP promotions customer service team are truly excellent. Eg I had a defective invoice from Dabs which didn't mention the model correctly, so it got rejected. One quick call and the young lady immediately confirmed my £200 cashback.

    Also got 6 cidre, with all 6 coupons scanned in at £1.99;) Got some fillers that I needed and the subtotal was £53.42. I paid £17.66 :D
    Bought the last of the Sun papers in T, 18 in all, and lots of t mags for coupons that VT wants.
    Thanks to shortfatscotsbloke for the Comfort. Got a few of those in A.
    Off for a lie down now, as have a thumping headache, and the meds are making me sleepy.
