Hi

advertising laptops for €599.. and €299 in tesco points as a rebate.Does anyone have an opinion on the spec theyre offering..

256mb ram
wifi
cd rw

good deal?
 
I was going to get the laptop but then looked at desktop with 512 ram and 160GB hd and went for that instead!
 
Hi

Just wondering, has anyone ever tried to return - a faulty PC or Laptop etc. To Tesco or Dunnes, Their is not much chance of a laptop lasting 2 years.

Can't see them replacing, what about repairing ..??

Do other's here, consider complaining about keyboard keys ( falling off :) etc.

for ppl who are just using them for email, internet they are fine. Theres a 2 year guarantee with them so if they really are that bad surely they'll act up within those 2 years and can be replaced or whatever
 
You just contact Philips who collect it and return when fixed. Would not worry about boards.ie people worrying about quality that much, as has already been pointed out its guaranteed.. I know 2 people with IQon's for the last year with no problems. €299 - with a 2 year guarantee - simple decision for me!
 
Was thinking of picking up one of these laptops for domestic use, this afternoon.
Mrs Runner says there are different types of voucher credits issued by Tesco, some are only redeemable against things you might never want to buy.
Does anyone know if this 'refund' offer is in straight cash like credits that you can settle your normal say groceries bill with at checkout, come November?

Simply from having read through some of the posts on boards.ie I believe they can be used for most tesco purchases (general shopping etc. but depending on who you believe/who is correct, cigarettes and alcohol may be discluded - can't say I have knowledge either way on this) including petrol should a Tesco petrol station be available.
 
Thanks Setanta. Would not worry about fags, booze and petrol as long as they can be used generally without penalty.

Net €299 for a laptop with 2-year guarantee ? If the after-sales support is OK, then it's a good deal - any laptop would depreciate €299 over 2 years.

Then again, it depends on what the vouchers can be used for. €300 of Pampers vouchers would be worthless to me. Similarly, 300 €1 vouchers for fabric conditioner would also be worthless.
 
The vouchers are like all their other offers such as "buy wine this weekend get 50% back" - you can use them for anything in the store (excl cigs etc)
 
Tesco stores are now sold out on notebooks.
Destops only left.
Missed out myself!
 
out of interest which stores are u referring to? Or put another way how do you know that "tesco stores" are out of them?

rubbish - any PC/laptop should last 3 years at least. I just replaced a PC that was 7 years old that just suffered a drive failure which caused motherboard failure. was perfect for surfing, ran Win 2000, plenty of RAM, wireless broadband, DVD burner from a few upgrades along the way.

if you buy a machine make sure it is upgradable. replaced with a EUR2300 laptop, expect to last more than 2 years...
 
It'll be interesting to see how well these laptops run windows vista (or whatever they're calling it now)
