    Rosa.We have just got a lap top which is an Acer Aspire 3003 LC. We got it with a voucher for �£150 off a lap top when we went onto BT Broadband.My husband thinks it would have cost around �£495.I know some of them can be quite expensive

    Perhaps some of the more knowledgeable guys will be able to steer you in the right direction.

    Good Luck

    Rosa.Our lap top came from BT when we signed up with them for Broad band.It was their offer for joining,so we signed up and got the money off.
    We had only just bought ourselves a new computer last september for our 25th Wedding Anniversary.
    We were on windows 95 with our old Packard Bell.
    We took this lap top to the IOW, but had problems with the WI-FI on the camp site.

    kandyfloss, I have never seen that offer with bt i am with bt for my phone then changed broadband companies from bt to tiscali, as bts broadband we where getting charged �£26.99 per month.
    Will keep looking see what is around its weird that you can spend as much for a lap top pretty much the same price as the computers
