AdamB Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I've heard a shed load of bad comments about Dell recently and their poor customer service/aftersales. Once they have your money they don't give a shit.Check out overclockers or Novatech. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Socks Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Avoid DELL, like the plague... See more faulty ones at work then any other brand... Asus, Acer, Toshiba In That Order... If you cant afford an Apple Product that is... If you do go Apple tho, put windows on it... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chris Green Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I would stay well away from Dell, I used to work for the finance company that does their finance agreements. Terrible customer service, terrible products and liars! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

StuDoc 72 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Try Ebuyer mate. They sell at decent prices for laptops. Youd also be surprised I recently bought a new laptop and shopped about as my budget was staying low about £300 and I found the clearance laptops in Currys were the best value for money. I got an Acer Aspire cant remeber model but it has an Intel I5 3550 (which is almost impossible to achive in this budget) It has 8gb ram and 1tb hdd. Also an Nvidia graphics card. Nothing impressive but still an improvement on the Intel 1. I paid 300 as it was a display model but it was immaculate and had no battery. Now as currys are a bit of a riot I asked if the had a box for it as I didnt want to carry it out the store like a pikey. So when they fetched the box (which was the wrong 1) a battery was in it. Jackpot. So I got a £450+ laptop for £300 and it had absolutely nothing wrong with it. Worth a look. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arnold Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Acer, Samsung and Toshiba are all good brands, although you generally pay a bit more with Toshiba Had a lot of reliability issues with cheap Dell machines, and avoid Sony. Way over priced and probably even more unreliable than Dell. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
