    You can do it, but there's no extremely easy way of doing it. Probably the easiest way is to go to
    http://www.dell.com/dhs/globaltagtransfer
    after 4pm, using Internet Explorer, and keep trying until it accepts it.

    Once it's been successfully done you and the new owner should both receive an email confirming the transfer, and it should take less than 24 hours to happen

    Good luck! :)

    ...and that is why the whole deal is cheap, because you'll be looking at Dells standard £57 to ship it back to you and that's after you've paid £17.63 to ship to NI (and that's only insured cover for £100)(parcel2go)

    Surely if it is faulty they cannot charge for shipping it back to you after repair ?
    WHOOOOSHHHHHHHHH……..
    Blimey what was that ?
    That was your life mate
    Oh I wasn’t quite ready can I have another go ?

    You keep asking questions like that, and it's quite annoying, I wouldn't post it if it wasn't true

    PM me and I'll give you more info if you're interested

    can anyone find me a good deal on a dell laptop for my father in law
    had an email from ukfrenzy saying laptops from 421 pounds but i cant find that offer on site?
    That's like saying can someone find me a good deal on a car! You need to decide first what the laptop is going to be used for.

    I,m thking of getting the dell 3000 for £340 ( p4 3.0) but would it be worth spending a bit more to get 5100 (I worked out it will cost me £50 extra for roughly the same spec)?.

    It depends what you want, and what your intentions are long-term. The 5100 would be more upgradable later on, but if you won't want to play the latest games or run anything too intensive the 3000 should be fine

    Is it worth buying a 3000 system - just for the components i.e to purchase a better spec case and m/board and pilaging the dell system of the valuable bits.??

    monitor keyboard processor memory h/drive etc

    Any thoughts savings monkeys?

    Dell components aren't always compatible with products from other manufacturers, so tread cautiously

    I've just had an email confirming cancellation of my laptop order - leaving me with just the Dimension 3000 on order at a total cost of £233!! Hope this arrives.
