Where to buy a laptop?

Hi all,

Question days it all really, any recommendations on where I can get a good deal on a laptop? Preferably new as I can claim the cost back as an office expense.

Thanks

    try dell outlet business section.

    What budget and size you are after?
    I assume it is for office work? i.e. no gaming, no photo editing, no video editing, no CAD
  • Not sure about Dell. Really something with solid build and battery life, 1080p. 15in display. Integrated graphics seem to have come on along way so that might be good enough for some occasional light gaming in hotel rooms. Definitely an SSD (could rip out a cheaper machine's HDD)

    Budget wise I'd need to discuss that with my account, tempted to go hell for leather if I make enough profit to claim the full cost back in tax. Otherwise budget perhaps £300 - 400?

    Thanks

    Have you looked at laptops direct, I have bought a couple from them in the past few years. Massive choice, should find one to suit your needs.
