Where is the best place to buy quality laptops online (in the UK)
 

for good prices? anyone know?

ebuyer.com are worth a look, and dell do some cheap ones.

dell's studio line is top notch. If the UK is anything like over here you'll find coupons and all kinds of good stuff to make them CHEAP...

I think its time to sell my E1705 and but a 17" studio one with the backlit keyboard so I can type WHILE I spank it in the dark....

Keep that. It's the only one they've made in the last 3 years that's worth a shit. My less-than-a-year Vostro needs repair, again, but my 6400/E1505 survived 3 trips to Latin America and back.

I had a 1505 and I MIGHT have liked it more than my E1705. I was a dumbass and got the fully upgraded LCD with mine and honestly the screen resolution is higher than it should be at 17" and the super glossy screen is a bitch in areas with any sunlight...

I'm thinking about either picking up a 15" or 17" I'm not really sure which. Its nice having a big screen but 17" is just too bulky I think. In the end whatever has the best coupons at the time I purchase will be it. I don't want to buy a used laptop because I've had like 6 laptops over the past few years that I've sold for more than I paid thanks to coupon stacking. This 1705 though is on its THIRD keyboard now and is just showing its age. I looked through my Dell order history that goes back 2 years and I had it at least a year before the oldest purchase on there. Do you want to keep using the same laptop after 3 years? nobodies holds up perfectly for that long... time to just drop $500-600 and get a new one. I'll keep the 7200 RPM drive and transplant it to the new one since I'm happy with the drive.

think the Dell XPS M1530 will do?
