Laptop vendors (Acer Aspire)
I'm about to buy a new laptop - probably an Acer Aspire 5685WLMi. This
is available for about £975 inc. P&P from the following online vendors: www.pc-development.co.uk www.lamda-tek.com www.technoshack.co.uk / www.tradecomputer.co.uk (both run by DB Computers) ww.it247.com (probably the best Ts and Cs) www.laptopshop.co.uk www.shopacer.co.uk (offer a pixel check - albeit at extra cost) www.shopmagenta.com www.dacomputers.com Any of these that are particularly recommended or best avoided? I haven't dealt with any of them before... Most other vendors want an extra £100 or so for this laptop. Apparently Comet was doing them for about £350 less! But I didn't find out until too late. And I think it's still a decent spec. for sensible money. Other recommendations of vendors or laptops (or both) welcome. The sort of laptop spec. I'm looking for is: Core2Duo 2GHz (T7200), 2GB RAM, 160GB 5400RPM HD, 15.4" screen, PCMCIA, etc. And if anyone got one those bargains at Comet and no longer wants it, give me a shout! ;-) Thanks, Bob |

I was just thinking how wonderful life was, when "aquazur-dra"
opened his gob and said: Other recommendations of vendors or laptops (or both) welcome. www.rockdirect.com 7 day no quibble return and 3 year C&R (insurance backed) guarantee. They also supply a FULL OS disk, not a recovery disk - could not find anybody else who did this. -- Cheers, Guy ** Stress - the condition brought about by having to ** resist the temptation to beat the living daylights ** out of someone who richly deserves it. |

A company that sold laptops - including fanless ones - with a 7 day no quibble money back guarantee, would be perfect. It's a nuisance if you want a completely silent laptop and you buy it and it isn't completely silent. Or, isn't as silent as I want it to be. |
