Gateway Laptop Dual core T2130/2GB/160GB misprice?

Saw this specification on the Tesco Direct website here:

http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.200-5346.aspx

But in the Tesco direct catalogue, the specification states a 120 GB Hard Drive and 1 GB of memory!

Called Tesco Direct, who informed me the website specification was correct and if it isn't, i'd be able to have a full refund.

I'm confused.. has anyone brought this laptop who can shed some light on this?

Thanks.

Printed catalogues obviously go out of date, especially with computer stuff. The web specification is the one to trust.

Anyone who's recently brought this at this price and specification?

It's £400 - 3p. I've just ordered one. If the spec. on the website is wrong, I'll just send it back and get full refund (including the p&p cost). There is no risk of loosing anything (They are very civilised at Tescodirect), but there is risk of it runs out of stock.

Ordered this last week for daughter and the spec on website is incorrect. The laptop has 1gb memory and 120gb hard drive. Tesco have said we can either return the laptop and have a full refund or keep it and have £25 refund. Off to check if there are any better deals before we decide what to do.

I bought the Gateway laptop and didn't realise it was the wrong specs. Had been using it for a week then saw this thread. Rang Tesco Direct and they weren't very helpful, they said I could return it and they would collect it between 7am -7pm or I could return it to a store. I took it to a store today, they weren't happy but eventually I got a refund after a long struggle with them. I have also contacted trading standards and Tesco have now updated their website with the correct specs

I think Tesco are being their normal p***-taking selves. A further 1gb RAM would cost approx £50 for starters. Added to the fact that, if you did return it, BY LAW they couldn't sell it as brand new so would have to sell it as refurb etc. There's no way they would be able to sell it at nomal price less £25. Ask them to re-consider their £25 offer, tell them about the difficulty in them selling it as 'used' and ask for a £75 refund and expect to get £50. Assuming you got Quidco and as many clubcard points as poss, that IMHO would make it a decent deal...
