Whatever next?

Mind you, it looks a good machine for a good price.
Fujitsu Siemens D335 2.8Ghz, 256 Ram, 80GB HD,
DVD/CD R/W, 17 inch TFT Monitor!, XP HOME, Works 7.0, Printer (was going so well until you see it's a Lexmark!)
all for 749.99 Euro.
Pity it wasn't a DVD R/W but still looks great value.
At least it won't be like a LIDL charge.
 
Hi oki,

I think that looks fairly average for the price - same as what most DID, Dixons etc are charging. No great shakes unless I missed something?
 
Hi piggy
I thought with the TFT flat screen it was a good price
but maybe not?
 
TFT = LCD
It is good value if you consider that the monitor would cost the guts of €400
 
I can see it now...

"Do you want anything, I'm going to Dunnes?"

Yep, get me 2 milk, a loaf of bread and a Fujitsu Siemens PC.
and don't forget your Club card!
 
Sorry oki, you're right. Missed the fact the the monitor was TFT.

The following spec is available from Dell for Eur790 - so 50 quid dearer.

Processor
Intel® Celeron® D Processor 340 (2.93GHz, 533fsb, 256k cache)

512MB DDR RAM - Double the Ram of Dunnes

17" Analogue Flat Panel Monitor (17.0" v.i.s)

Harddrive
40GB Hard Drive (7200 RPM)

Optical Drive
48x CD-RW/DVD Combo Drive


So for the extra 50 quid we have:

- Better processor than Dunnes
- Double the Ram of Dunnes
-Half the hard drive of Dunnes but for this sort of PC a 40 gig hard drive is probably enough for those users
- 1 Year Collect and Return service


Most importantly I believe that if something wrong happens with the PC I would prefer to have a one year collect and return service from Dell as opposed to going to Dunnes and trying to explain to some shop assistant that "my pc is not booting".....Far better to let take it away , fix it and return it to you.
The better processor and double the Ram is more important than the smaller hard drive also - well I think so unless you plan on a lot of storage.
 
Re: dunnes stores

None of the Dunnes in town today had any of the computers.
Not sure if they sold out or didn't have them in yet.

I'd actually prefer to deal with a Dunnes Shop assistant!

Another benefit of Dunnes over Dell, is you get the machine there and then. You don't have to enter the Dell lottery of either getting your machine next week, or three months time.
 
Re: dunnes stores

Out of curiosity has anybody seen one of these computers in a Dunnes Stores?
 
You : My PC is broken, can you help ?
16 yr old Dunnes employee looks blankly at you.

You : I bought it here last week
16 yr old Dunnes employee looks blankly at you.

You : Can you get a manager for me ?
16 yr old Dunnes employee looks blankly at you.

You : Do you actually work here ?
16 yr old Dunnes employee looks blankly at you.
 
Bit unkind to 16 year old Dunnes employee?
I'd imagine the helpline is probably located somewhere in India and you'll have a conversation for at least 30 minutes and not understand a word they say.
 
Quote : Bit unkind to 16 year old Dunnes employee?

True , that was unfair - they might grunt aswell as staring blankly.
 
Hang on a minute - maybe that 16 year old Dunnes shop assistant is far more intelligent than you. They might be doing a part time job to help pay for their computer science degree.

Stereotypes are frequently wrong.
