It's not always best in the long run to buy the cheapest! You usually find that the thing goes wrong two days after the guarantee runs out! Quality pays in the end. Allie x |

Mine's an Acer Aspire 1520 apparently (just looked at the casing!). We've all got them here except hubby who just had to have the Ferrari one because it makes a cool sound when you switch it on!!! Boys and their toys! Daisy |

Paul.... lol.... i watch the adverts too !!! I still cannot believe how cheap computers are now ! Our first one [ about 7 years ago ] cost over £1000 ... would only be any good to use for a paper weight now. Nice when some things get better and cheaper, lol. OOhhhh am spoilt for choice, think i might do a bit of shopping round first.... have got 6 weeks for you all to go out and buy my birthday card..... and watch out for any good offers anywhere. Sue ;-))))))))))))))))))))))))))) |

I dont personaly have one, however am currently lying on sofa with hubbys laptop. Brought from pc world not sure of price tho, but it is an Advent like Gary's not had any problems. Daughter has inherited one. It is a Sony, much bigger and heavier than Hubby's however it must be about 4-5yrs old now. But the previous owner had no probs and neither has she. |

Over the years I've used IBM, DELL, TOSHIBA and FUJITSHU/SIEMENS. Of all of them the Dell has been the most reliable. My current work laptop (that I'm using at this very moment) is a Dell D600. They don't sell them in the shops you know. |

I got an Advent lap top from PC world in 2001 it was £1600, but had the highest spec for the money, Sony with the same spec at the time was £5000, and the nearest speck to it was £2400, i have had it on none stop for a minimum 6 hours a day, some days 12 or more every day and i have not had one bit of trouble with it never broke down, so last week i decide to buy a new one and had another Advent, 2.8 gig processser, 15 inch screen, 512 ram, 60 gig hard drive, dvd writer, the cost £500, thought it was briiliant value for the money and it is so light next to the old one |

As some of you may remember , i barred myself from PC World just before Xmas. We went into buy a printer /scanner we had looked at the day before.... they added £50 onto the price at the till. They had forgotten to take the special offer down ! We went to Argos.... and got it at the special price. Sue x |
