At the rate they were going (2 others were sold a few mins before mine!) they wont last 5 mins!

I feel so pleased as i was just about to spend £399 on an almost identical Acer laptop!

You should have bought them all up quick and flogged them all on ebay for a profit...lol

Go on, the big supermarkets make enough millions, it's like giving back to the small people...lol

I have an amendment to make, it was actually my wife who spotted the advert not me therefore she is the bargain hunter. Nor did i remember to use my clubcard.

I have been getting earache so feel this post will now get me back in the good books.

End of amendment.

Have to disagree Mr J Man! I've had an Acer laptop for 3 years, its left on for the best part of 12 hours a day, heavily used with high spec CAD software and i've never (touching wood) had a problem.

for the price also, they're good value. :-)

As I recall you've got 14 days to take your receipt to customer services and they'll put the points on your clubcard.

You can pick up some real bargains there in terms of office equipment. I originally bought my printer from Costco. On the way home I stopped at Tesco and saw the same printer on sale at half price. Needless to say I bought the printer from Tesco and then rushed back to Costco to return their one. The woman at the refund desk though I was insane retuning something that I'd bought less than an hour ago.

As long as they work ok, it doesn't bother me what make of computer they are. You may as well have a cheap one, they go out of fashion that quick, you'll need a new one in a couple of years...lol

And what's wrong with my logic Duane, I made sense to me...lol

Acer (fantastic laptops, i'm on one now), good spec, £299!

I have just bought one (yes i know its 10pm) but it looks gorge and is such a steal. Bonus if you've got a clubcard too!

Dont think the offer is on for too long so go get it!

Your going to need some more RAM/Memory if you want to run CAD applications on it. :)

Might do. Have checked with them so should be ok. It will be the only thing running on the laptop so wont have any other applications to get in the way.

If needs be i have 256MB that i had to take out of my current acer to upgrade it, so can always pop that in to up it to 512MB

I've been waiting for the day when tescos do this (i'm sure it will come as they sell pretty much anything!). Maybe i could have a display of my own kitchens in the store and get leads from there! :D

Windows XP requires 128mb to run, add a CAD program and I'd expect you to need that extra 256mb pretty quickly.

Wait till we all have to use Windows Vista it will need at least 512Mb just to run that and an extra 1.5Gb to build 3D in.
