You can post the money of codes if you want but someone has already posted the 5% one in the vouchers and codes bit. Like your laptop by the way advent are pcworlds own make dont know what they are like for laptops but anything else they make is a nightmare to get any drivers or information about their products online.

thanks mate - yeah i have posted the code (just incase anyone missed it its nhsdis3107) also what i did was register on quidco and managed to get another 6% off the price as they are a referrer, not bad hey...
anyways thanks and happy new year people.
ps. shame the staff at pc world arent as helpful as people on here -

The people at PC World couldnt tell their ass from their elbow. Most of them seem to be more interested in HP agreements and extended service warranties than actual PC's

The descriptions on their website are always wrong which is a good thing, I bought a wireless laptop card that was described on their site as having a range of 1000ft and it was actualy about 80 meters got it for ?14 printed out what it said on their website and brought it into the shop and they got me one that goes 1000ft instead as a free replacement, also got a class microsoft wireless mouse the other week for ?10 because I ordered a different mouse to pick up in the store and they sold out.

I love asking them technical questions and watching them sweat and make complete arses of themselves coming out with absolute bollocks. :P

And dont trust their bull**** wont be beaten on price policies....i went i with a misco catalogue and they wouldn't honor it unless i got a written estimate from misco.

A lot of their stuff is double the price of other online retailers!

I have a mate who is an assistant manager at pc world. He told me that there is a 70% markup on all of their cables!

Hows the laptop going Blueice, have you had any problems with it? Im thinking of getting the advent 7203 or a fujitsu amilo one but cant find any real info about advent one on the net, and have you found a site that will give you detailed info about advent laptops like max supported memory size and if you can upgraded the graphics card on it, any links ive found for advent computers just take you back to the pcworld site.

Cheers

the laptops running great - even after all the time the lil one spends on it playing games, honestly so far no complaints. it does what i need it to do thats surfing the net and messing about uploading my digi cam photos etc...... for the price i guess its been good.
sorry tho im not a real techy buff to even start to give out laptop advise on which ones better n stuff.........
