Laptop in Very Sale - when to buy?

Foonkysteve

Hi there, please go easy, I don't post very often at all, and not even sure if i'm in the right topic?

I think my question relates more to how retailers sales work and when to buy.

Anyway....
I was about to buy a (much needed) new laptop. I have spent a good week researching all the techy terms etc, and have decided on the model and retailer.

It happens to be a Toshiba laptop from very. Now, very have a 50% sale off of laptops which ends tomorrow. I am unsure if the specific laptop i am looking at, is even in the sale. The confusion comes from the same laptop being available for £449.99 from both Very and the Toshiba site - where as littlewoods (very partner?) have it in their sale for £579.99 reduced from £629.99 (All laptops exact same spec)

I have been waiting for ages for very to send me one of these money off codes which they seem to send out all the time when i don't need to buy anything I even called them and asked for a code with no success

So 'I think' my question is - Do I need to buy this from very before the sale ends tomorrow? (as they may jack up the price to the littlewoods price) I would prefer to buy from Very than Toshiba as I can pay it up.

If anyone is interested the Laptop is a Toshiba L50 C 1z8

Thanking you in advance for anyone who takes the time to read and respond.

edit... wooops I forgot to mention best deal i can find is 1.05% Cashback from TopCashBack

Sorry cannot answer your question directly - but I wouldnt worry too much about Very/Littlewoods price differences. Although they are owned and run by the same company , they are well know for selling exactly the same stuff at different prices , even outside of sale periods

You may be better posting the specs on the 'techie board' to see if anyone can find the same/better spec from someone else. Very and Littlewoods load their prices.

I think there's a post somewhere recently about somebody having problems with a laptop they bought from Very. Might be worth reading that thread before committing yourself. I think it was in the Consumer Rights section.

I believe that's the laptop I now have. I bought mine from PC World via ebay, sold as refurbished but obviously brand new when it arrived. I think I paid around £280 for it & it came with the full Toshiba guarantee.

I've been more than happy with it. The sound is great, far superior to my previous HP model. So I'd say shop around good & proper before paying over the odds for something that could be available much cheaper elsewhere.
