Cracking deal on hotukdeals

http://www.hotukdeals.com/item/130241/quickly-basic-dell-vostro-1000-note/all/deals/hot/

(downgrade warranty to 1 yr)

good deal ,but now is not the best time to buy a laptop , give it a month or two you will have your pick at that price , all these companys have sales targets and obviously they have no trouble in dec and january , get to march and april and the prices fall like a stone . Dells first quarter sales ends in april and there are some good deals on their laptops ,
but if you cant wait that long try the currys refurb site in a few weeks as stock levels will rise as we get in to the new year especially for the cheaper end of the market

we had 2 from them last year ,for around £275 all come with 12 months warantee , would then sell them on (ebay)after the garantee is up .saves expensive repairs and get another .you wont loose a lot and they are quite good short term laptops for the home .
