Cheap Laptop at pcworld
 
Looks like pcworld have made an error on the price of this laptop
£115 when it should be £350

Might be worth a punt if you have a bit of cash free, the worst they can do is refund your money and not sell you the laptop

Ive just ordered 1, i recon less than 1/100 chance of getting it but its risk free gambling:)

I've ordered one.

There's a recent precedent for this sort of thing...

I've got an advent laptop which I've had since 2006, apart from a new screen (random crack appeared) and a keyboard its been a good laptop.


I'd take another for that price but I'd be amazed if it got shipped albeit it's false trade description and should be honoured.

They will claim it's out of stock or something.

Just looked at some reviews, and alot say it's really bad. That's probably why they are selling so cheap.
However if you are using it just to browse the internet or something else that is not so demanding then it's a good price.
Ste.

think Nobbylads right. They must be all gone. I've been trying to buy it, but the checkout seems to send you back to the homepage. boo ho wah wah.

Prepare for dissapointment...

This is a laptop aimed at long times away from the mains rather than processing power.

The year and a half old Toshiba I have at work is an AMD QL-65 CPU, which using te PassMark CPU Benchmarks is about half as good again as this Advent, with (1078 vs 780)

My 4 year old Desktop machine that I just upgraded was an AMD X2 4200 - which scores 1157, compared to my new system at 6646.

In saying that I tend to really push my machines, so the laptop in question is going to be more than fine for browsing/youtube/facebook

Just had the email of doom from PC World.

"due to a pricing error, we are unable to supply... Etc"

Refund has been sent.
