Laptop Bargain Hunt

[Ceefer]

Two nights I've spent hunting for a bargain laptop on the web, without success.

I've given up and decided to up my budget and buy new. Specs I'm looking for are Pentium M processor, 40+gb HDD, 512mb memory and half-decent graphics. Budget £800.

This is the best I've come up with:

Acer Aspire 1681LCI Notebook, Centrino 715 1.5GHz, 512MB, 60GB HDD, 15"TFT (only 1240x780 ), DVD/CDRW, WLAN, Windows XP Home, 64mb Radeon 9700 graphics. £772 inc VAT

Anybody here got any views on Acer notebooks?

Acer good notebooks normally, but ebuyer....i wouldnt spend that sort of money with them unless i had it to burn...Dabs or dare i say it PCW would be a better bet

What's wrong with Ebuyer?

What's wrong with Ebuyer?

Customer Support leaves alot to be desired.. their e-ticket system is quite frankly utter rubbish. Not being able to talk to a human voice is a failing.

what's the general consensus on Acer then? had heard some bad things about them, but am willing to reconsider if that's the way the wind's blowing...
