Hard-drive- the one you've linked to has a larger, but slightly slower hard-drive (640Gb versus 500Gb). The smaller hard-drive is from a different manufacturer, and is faster- most people will probably be go with the larger hard-drive without investigating further.

That is a great deal to be fair. Very quick laptop clearly and a fairly nice looking one too!

silvo · 17-04-2011 8:09pm

Went for the plunge. Looked like a great deal, especially with the i5 for that price.

If there was a 'jealous' smiley- thats what I'd be using now.....
It does look like a lovely machine- I'm sure you'll love it.

I have ordered several items off ibood, it usually takes two months before anything is delivered.

testicle · 17-04-2011 9:51pm

Yep, likewise, 14 days tops. No where near 2 months.

rebeve · 17-04-2011 10:57pm

Also took the plunge .

g_moriarty · 18-04-2011 2:53pm

phunkymonk · 18-04-2011 4:01pm

SeaSide · 20-04-2011 5:19pm

Anybody get their shipping details on this yet?

silvo · 20-04-2011 9:49pm

Nope still waiting

rebeve · 21-04-2011 9:52am

I have `nt even got a confirmation email .But they have taken the money .

The_Conductor · 21-04-2011 10:15am

Did the same to me on the Toshiba AC100 I ordered a week previous. In my order history the status is 'Payment Received'....... I thought companies didn't normally deduct the cash from your credit card until they actually shipped the product? Its actually deducted, not just authorised, from mine.

rebeve · 22-04-2011 1:15pm

This crowd (ibood) make pixmania look good , definitely never again .

Why? You'll get what you ordered, in the quoted time. What's the problem?

I'm waiting 3 weeks for the previous laptop (thus far) (its a Toshiba AC100).
I've e-mailed and filled out the online query form- and not gotten so much as an automated response. In addition- they removed the cash from my credit card immediately (3+ weeks ago).

So- your order can be at 'Payment Received' status and simply sit there- forever....... (or so it seems). They take the money immediately- without giving you any indication of when you might receive the product. They don't even acknowledge any queries you give them. And they don't have a published phone number (that I can find).

SeaSide · 22-04-2011 6:39pm

Had a look at the original spec and it states that delivery is between 7 and ten working days so I would expect it between the 27th April and the 1st May.

I got them on this number :014773908.I rang them , they said they would ring me back in an hour .That was 2 days ago .

liam24 · 27-04-2011 12:36am

As I mentioned earlier in the thread, there have been times when I have waited two months for ibood to deliver items. I wanted the laptop but there was no way I would be prepared to wait 2 months like I did with an air purifier and an xbox 360, that I orderd off them.

rebeve · 27-04-2011 9:39am

Its like buying from a company in the twilight zone .

Jonny7 · 27-04-2011 10:21am

yarr ye were warned

ibood postage slower than tectonic plate movement

Just called about order status & they said order should arrive early next week. Not completely convinced but at least it is possible to speak to someone.

RasTa · 29-04-2011 10:22am

I got my tv in 2 weeks when ordering.
