Speaking as a very happy Medion / Aldi customer, these look like really good prices, have never ordered anything from europc before but am wanting to get a new laptop for my wife as hers is really struggling at present. If you go for one of these would you let us know how you got on?

All the best...Flyer...

I was all set to go for that one, but It has no battery and an external one is around £50

It would be OK if you just want a portable to use inside, but I like the flexibility, also, the VAT & P&P shoots it up to around £550

If you type `I-Buddie into Google, you will find more details on the machine, that is what it is

Could be a bargain if you can live with the shortcomings though

PS Shipping: thay charged me £18 for 3 day delivery

What laptop did you buy, and is the price you see excluding VAT.......

If it is thats one way to make the laptops look even cheaper than they might be....

I bought the one from the first link, the X71 £854 inc VAT with warranty and delivery, seems like a storming deal compared even to Ebay prices

To calculate, just chuck one in the basket on the site

VAT is a p***er though, although it is standard format for computer stuff

£854 for a laptop, do you print your own money by any chance? ;-)

If you can find the same spec cheaper, let me know and I will cancel my order, this seemed like a storming deal to me, I could not find a cheaper equivalent on ebay and (pukes) PC world come in at around £13-1500 for a similar machine, albeit a brand name

Hopefuly it will be here tommorrow, so I will let you know if its any good

I haven`t checked your spec but if you want a reliable laptop and have the chance to extend the warranty to 3 years on site then you could do a lot worse than DELL OUTLET

http://outlet.dell.com/Emea_Dfo/EuDispatcher?target=InventoryPage&country=GBR&lob_constraint=INSP

They seem to have an offer on until tomorrow. Bought my PC from there and have no problems. Also great backup for any problems or questions you may have from their website (mainly from other users but also from DELL).

First post, dont mean to be rude, but when you add cost of operating system etc its more or less a grand. Why do people slag of PC World without even checking their prices? Visit www.pcworld.co.uk and there are several laptops that are better spec than this one for under £1000. BTW Dell was voted `Worst Customer Service`. At least with PC World you can throw the thing at someone :))
