those are more than two words, seb. so long as you're not a mug and get sucked in by pc world's megasuperspecial offers, then there's fuck all wrong. i picked my laptop up from pc world for £470. dell's are decent and you can get some good deals as a business buyer, check here |

http://www.ebuyer.com/product/134522That one has got a decent processor and 2gb of memory which will be handy if you're running Vista. 5 star reviews too. £439.98, don't forget to claim your VAT back! There's plenty to look at online. Just don't get a celeron processor and try and get one with 2gb of ram if you're running vista

Avoid Celerons they are slow, outdated and poor compared to newer and often cheaper alternatives.

I must admit I have spent over £25,000 at Ebuyer in the past and never had even 1 bad experience I use them certainly 2 or 3 times a month for the last 5 or 6 years.
I have not heard of anyone having any bad experiences of Ebuyer apart from you mr axs.

in that case i feel incredibly unlucky!
i've tried to buy two things from them, the first time it was faulty and they wouldn't replace it until i called in trading standards and they gave me a refund, the second time (6 months later) they guaranteed a delivery in time for christmas (this was three weeks before), they gave three delivery dates and none of them turned up and they eventually told me that they had no stock and would not be getting any in so i cancelled the order.
