yes ;)

I bought my old Acer Aspire from Ebuyer, it was the best price by far

Yours is better spec than mine & cheaper if I remember correctly, as mine was £320

Check Aria for laptop prices, they're pretty competative at the moment

plus they turn up the next day, win win.

I cannot comment on the build quality or reliability as I've not had the pleasure but the price & spec seem reasonable.

If you're looking for after sales support there are possibly better suppliers (although I've heard stories about most).

This is a useful site when comparing cpus but remember it's a package you're buying not just one component.

Yes, that's a pretty good deal.

That's thrown http://www.aria.co.uk/SuperSpecials/...roductId=41501
into the mix :smt102
The extra battery life is appealing as is the compact size & weight
but smaller screen is not (same resolution) also slower at 1.2 instead of 2, and slower RAM

That's a pretty picture, but not sure what it tells me

Re: New laptop - Is this a good deal?
 

Depends what you need it for

Re: New laptop - Is this a good deal?
 

As long as you do don't want it realistically to last for more than 3 years and you aren't going to use it regularly on a mobile basis, then yes pretty good deal.
