Looking for a laptop - Page 2

I'll still have my MCE box in the front room anyway so mass storage isn't an issue for me.

ONly problem I'm having on the Dell site is that it states you can only deliver to the credit card address which means we wont be in to take delivery. But what if I use a debit card instead? Do I still need to have it delivered to home? Can't find an answer anywhere.

Not sure actually. Only ever deal with the business side and they'll let you deliver anywhere :/

Is it worth looking at that place where Alex got his? They might be cheaper/ have a better delivery policy?

Did he use Euro PC in the end? Cant remember. It's where I got mine from because they had an interest free option and I didnt want the 1 time hit.

I did look last night. Only problem there is you can't spec them up to your exact requirements. Will take another look though.

They have a lot of stock that isn't on the website, you're best calling them dude. I had the exact spec I wanted (down to memory speed) written down and called them up, and they had one exactly how I wanted, which wasn't on the website. I could dig up the email of the guy I dealt with, if you'd prefer to contact them that way?

Desmo · 21-06-2007, 11:51

yeah, chuck me an email if you can mate

I'll be keeping an eye on this thread as we're thinking getting a laptop when we get our house. As the 360 will be plugged into the main TV, if I want to play games and Lynne wants to surf the net we'd end up being in different rooms almost all night, so a laptop would be ideal for us.

Hugh Haggerty, if he's still there

Spoke to him a few times, was a nice bloke.

Mmmmm, looking around, I think I'll just go with Dell direct and just get it delivered at home and see what happens. Seems most will only deliver to CC address. Must be a massive amount of fraud going on in computer sales :/

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
