Where to buy laptop?

[twobears]

Being the generous soul that I am, I want to buy my daughter's boyfriend a laptop for Christmas but, being the (adopted) Yorkshirewoman that I am, I want to get one at the best possible price I have looked at Tesco, Argos and PC World and they all seem much of a muchness but I wondered if anyone knows of anywhere else that I can look? I only want to spend about £300. Any ideas?

Thank you. Will go and have a look now

Had a quick look and they definitely have better prices on there Andy, so thanks, I wouldn't have found that by myself

Worth a look on the Dell Outlet (return to base, repackaged and resold for cheaper).

Personally I only ever buy Dell laptops, i find them to be well made/long lasting. Friends and family have tried other models such as Fujitsu, Samsung etc and all have developed faults.

Thanks marzman Had a quick peek on there too and they also have very good prices. I am going to have a proper look at both sites tomorrow when I am not so tired but I'm sure I'll get something in my price bracket now.

+1 for Dell if you're going Windowz. My last Dell laptop was the best PC I've owned. Ordinarily I'd be pointing you at the apple store but with the Yorkshirewomen constraint , I think ebuyer is also a good option.

 

Anywhere but PC World and you should be fine

+2 for Dell, I had one for years and it took a right pounding

also look for the cashback deals - I bought a HP model the other day for my son - £50 cashback - brought the price down to £170

+1 on that. Get yourself registered on quidco and search for the top referring sellers. An amazing site, i've earned over £200 in cashback this year as literally everything i buy is bought after clicking through from their site first.

Thanks everyone for the advice and the warnings too

 

I'm off to bed now as I'm taking our daughter Christmas shopping in London tomorrow and need to be on tip top form so I don't bankrupt myself buying her clothes

 

Will look at all links tomorrow. Have never heard of the cashback type sites before but they sound interesting!

Ask Mr 2 bears to buy it?

Hot uk deals is worth keeping your eye on as well

Um, he will be buying it. Like I said, I currently earn nothing so Christmas would be a bit on the frugal side if I had to forage in the hedgerows for gifts
