So I need a new laptop I'm a student 18 studying computer repair so its something that I could really use.
So I've been shopping around to see what I can get, personally I've found dell to be my favorite choice and they offer a start paying in october deal.
Obviouslty my income is very small (student) lucky to get at least £300 a month.
So I'm mainly asking how this all works, whats APR and all that.
Please explain the basics.
Thanks.

Would a parent or sibling be prepared to finance the computer purchase for you and you repay them monthly? Might be worth asking:j I have a persecution complex. Everytime I pass a shoe shop they persecute me till I buy them:j0
