New Laptop In Uk – Best Sources To Buy ?

[Trevor]

For the latest duo-core 14”/15” notebook I want to buy the latest spec in Europe as Thailand lags behind several months.

Apart from the expensive high street chains, which charge you 8 pence per minute just for sales enquiries (!!!), where can I find a good range of new notebooks? Any brand you can recommend, particularly in regard to having a reliable DVD-RW?

I live in Cambridge / London.

Thank you.

Staples.

Good prices and no hard sell.

Stores nationwide in the U.K.

or if you want to buy from a retailer, check prices and specs online and then head to Tottenham Court Road and negotiate a price (this is what I did for my latest laptop).

Checked serial number with police not stolen and also with friend who works for dell

and I knocked him down to £500 cash he wanted £625 without the discs (as he couldnt get the dvd to work properly and the sound was very quiet downloaded correct drivers 10mins later everything working ace) with full years warranty original not filled in so warranty now mine and case thrown in with the deal

bought stuff from his mates at the show in the past everything very good spent over £3k in past with these show people one bad item in about ten years so not a bad record i think

it is a lovely quick machine for what i want

the £600 saved is going towards a better longer holiday in 21 days time in the LOS will now go for 2 weeks now and 2 weeks xmas /year

Do you really HAVE to buy in the UK??

Remember a piece of equipment costing $123 will be priced at 123 quid in the UK, almost twice as much.

A side trip to Singapore or Hongkong may save you a lot of money.

Singapore could be a stopover enroute, but it's expensive to visit. Do you know anyone who has purchased a bargain there recently? I thought Thai prices were pretty close these days.

Thanks to all respondents for helpful replies.
