Win7. Absolute max £400, ideally closer to £300. Ta.

I got one from the Dell Outlet for £348

which was pretty good, but that was five months ago

I followed Tomtom's advice and checked the new stuff on offer in the evenings - from 4pm

I have half a memory that their business laptops had better battery life in general - might be wrong

ta chaps. Dell outlet looks good, and cheap. Doesn't need blinging $pec as I won't be doing any photo/video stuff on it.

there was a good £50 to £100 discount on the stuff that appeared in the evenings (compared to the outlet stuff that is there all the time) - it sold pretty quick though

worth looking tonight to see what the standard Outlet fare is, then you can feel even more Moneysupermarket when you score a bargain

Yeah don't forget to look at the biz outlet, Latitude laptops are much better built than the Vostro or home spec ones, but are a bit more spenny.

Lots of bargains to be had at the mo and the 'free' delivery is on at the mo too, although it does seem to be a month on/month off.
