Not trolling at all - I bought a new laptop from Tesco last week. Laptop
died, it was 8.30pm nowhere open like PC World tripped on over to Tesco
supermegahugestore and they had a massive range. A laptop for £300 is a
right bargain if you ask me, I dont even care if it breaks in a year or so.
It has one of those super shiny screens and 1Gb ram and 80gb HDD (we have an
external so well sufficient) it does DVD writing I mean, what more do I
need? Nothing, it does the job. It came with Vista which is dog slow, but
not bad. And basically got home, plugged in turned on connected to the
interweb. Took 15 mins to choose and buy it.

I cant argue with that, also the particularly nice thing about it was that
no-one tried to upsell to us, they let us buy what we chose, and no trying
to sell silly extended warranty rubbish etc

I have to say it was a very pleasant experience, and I like the laptop too.

Hence I would recommend over PC World who are pushy and annoying, or Dell
which seems overly complicated and you have to wait for them to deliver it.
