New laptop help

PC world, currys etc etc all the same really. Nothing wrong with them if you know what your after and they have it on sale. Dell are rather decieving on their products, nice price untill you add the extra's you might want. Not any cheaper than most places if you look about and do your research imo.

Dell are the mutts nuts when it comes to reliability. I have had 2 Dell PC's over the last 10 years, i have had to get 1 job done on them which was a faulty cd drive.

Just don't expect PC World to fix anything - even if you're paying them!

Better Still, build your own

That way you get EVERYTHING you need and NOTHING u dont need!!

Desktops are alot easier than laptops, but still cheaper either way.

Desktops are a lot easier than most people think to build as well.

I have heard negative and positive comments about dell products so i guess it depends on who you talk to.

Like  you say m8boy build yer own pity can't do this with lappys.

You can put together a laptop but you'd have far less choice about things.

Don't go there!

My wife's Compaq Laptop which I foolishly purchased fom PC World has been back and forth over 20 times!!! And I've had the Laptop exchanged once already as well. I sent the laptop away for about the 15th time because the Laptop wasn't holding it's charge. They sent it back saying that it was the battery and that isn't covered by my 5 year warranty plan. I then bought a new battery and hey presto it still didn't work. It then goes back and forth another 3 times and eventually they fix it - absolutely nothing to do with the battery!

Rant over.

ANYONE, and I mean ANYONE could build a desktop, it really is a piece of pi55!! - a few pitfalls yes, but common sense really.

I have built my own now for 6 years.

Right im off to get the lappy now, i reserved it online and im going down to pick it up shortly.

Just 2 more questions before i make the purchase,

1, the lappy comes wiyh 1 years free warrenty, is it wise to take out the optional warrenty for £6.99 per month.

2, which is the best deal on security/ antivirus to get for it.

many thanks.

1: If you're buying from PC World then get the longest warranty possible!
