Is this ok now that they've knocked 300 off or is it still too dear? cheers all.

The price to me seems reasonable enough but does it come with an OS or do you have to put that on yourself?

Thrill · 02-03-2007 12:59am

There doesnt seem to be any info on the OS. Surely it would have XP at least.

Not a bad price not, although it was a bit expensive last time around. Only thing that really makes it worth it is the Go7600 though, so if you're not a gamer or heavy multimedia user really there's not much benefit to it at all over a several hundred euro cheaper dell machine.

AFAIK it has XP Media Centre Edition.

Also, if its the same as previous offers it has a 3 year collect and return warranty.

murphaph · 02-03-2007 11:31pm

It also has free vista upgrade. The longer warranty also appeals to me I have to say! Hmmm, need to think a bit. Ok let's say I got the same spec from dell, what would i be lookin at?

TerrorFirmer · 03-03-2007 8:51am

Dell would be more expensive for the exact same spec but dell were always like that when trying to direct compare, you have to just keep an eye out on bargins and offers. And again, unless you're playing brand new games or very heavy multimedia work, you'd get from Dell a much cheaper and similarly performing machine:

Turion X2 Dual core cpu
1Gb Ram
120Gb Hard Drive
X1150 Graphics

The only difference would be the X1150 is vastly inferior for games, and the processor might be a bit slower - but not to the extent you'd actually notice. The price? 699 euro - a 600 euro difference.

Would that have a 17" screen and wireless lan too? I don't play games, my old vaio was dropped and is kaputt now. thinkin you might be right about gettin a dll. what about warranty though?

murphaph · 04-03-2007 2:50pm

They've knocked more off, down to 999.99.

I am looking for an old viao for parts. Do you still have it?

TerrorFirmer · 04-03-2007 11:47pm

It is a very good deal for 999...

murphaph · 05-03-2007 11:28am

That's what I was thinking. Lidl have won my cash (back)

Sorry Jo King, I'm keepin the vaio as it now operates as my desktop cos the screen was the only thing that smashed when it was dropped. It works fine with a connected monitor. If the cooling fan goes (for a third time) you can have it then mate!:)

I asked there in Galway lidl about the price online compared to the price in the leaflet and they said its €1299. He seemed certain it was going to be €1299 and not €999. Anyone else hear anything like this from other stores around the country?

I checked a few hours ago as I was passing by the Lidl branch in Thomas St in Dublin and they were showing the price as €1299!

greglo23 · 07-03-2007 5:18pm

the price on the website is 999.99 as they dropped 300 when the Aldi laptop came in at 799.99.
