Thats a lot of pc for the money...I wonder it they do 12 months intrest free credit on it? ;)

"If you put your mind to it you can accomplish anything" BTTF

toys r us will do a 6 month easy buy agreement you will need to pay a 10% deposit to bought a laptop off them while ago ;)

Can you extend the 1 year cover?

That`s a pretty amazing deal.

I bought the laptop form Aldi a couple of weeks ago with a very similar spec for a grand and thought that wouldn`t be beaten for a while! Ah well.

Good spec - but 1.5 hours battery life?

6 months interest free on a basket of goods. 12 months interest free on any of the PCs, desktop and laptop. Should have finally arrived instore aswell. And you can get a half price laptop case in store, not sure about the website though.

Edit:
You get the software CDs aswell... which is nice

I`ve got the Aldi laptop ordered - Is this one better value?

Thanks in advance

Aldi laptop battery lasts only for 90 minutes..same as this one.

It`s £100 cheaper than the Aldi laptop with, what looks like, a slightly better spec. E.g. it`s got an infra-red port - the Aldi job dosen`t and it`s got more/better software. I would definitely have bought this computer instead of the Aldi :/
