Decent machines but they use the most obscure hardware Ive ever come across,
If you get one keep the drivers cd!

Too rite, nothing they use is normal at all. But its no hassle at all. As you can pick up the drivers from www.everex.com for certain models.

I had myseld a iqon about 5/6 years ago, baught it as my missus siister worked in esb, and we got a 60% discount. And 1800+ ( jiuhb ) so that went to 2.5ghz the thing lasted ages. and any hassle i had iqon/phillips came and picked it up and returned it for free.

Using an iQon laptop I bought about 2 years ago. Haven't had any problems, works a treat. iQon is only a trading name for Philips right? They are essentially Philips laptops (if that counts for anything!)

I thought they were just iQon machines, but used Philips screens

I was pretty sure it was a division or sub company of phillips. But ya never know.

Agreed, customer support non existant.

Yeh, the laptops are alright, I rang their support once looking for drivers and was pointed to a site with full cd downloads for each machine, so it was problem solved.

Do You guys maybe know anything with this AGFA camera that will be on sale? (model etc.) It looks interesting and You can use it as a webcam as well.

Basq

Some good bargains there on monitors but correct me if i'm wrong, the clearance is only in the IQon Factory in Louth? And not available online!

Shame!

Ah its not too bad, it'd be worth the trip I reckon, make a day out of it sure

delly

As said, I use iQons in work for supply to our customers. I'd say I have had about 200 in the last 2 years and of that I have had about 5 with VGA port failure and maybe another 5 with DVD drive failures. I have also had another 6 or so with Windows errors, but I just re-ghost them to sort that out.

neacy69

sure come on down to dundalk for the day its a great place...just don't talk to anybody!

logistic

Has anyone rang up and reserved yet? Anyone know what sort of stock they have?

jaceq

I e-mailed them with question about AGFA camera, no answer yet (e-mailed yesterday)

Yeah, reserved a few usb 512mb memory keys, all the igb ones were already gone

The laptops aren't that great a deal unless you go for the very basic models. once you go up a bit your at the same price as a basic dell of the same spec.

Do-more

I heard an ad on Today FM for this sale today, so it will probably be mobbed! If your after something I'd say get there early!:D

nava

Hi

Thanks

logistic

I went up yesterday morning. Got there just after 10, had to que for 30-40mintes to get in.

They did have other stock that wasnt in the brochure

Laptops
Samsung R40 €599
HP and an Acer travelmate (core solo processor) dunno the models they were around €550 mark
Pritners
Cannon all in one and a HP photo printer i think.
Philips 32" LCD tv
Travel mouse and 2 differnt types of laptop bags
LG 19" flat

They also sold out of some of there own brand laptops by the time i got in.

Cas2007

is vat included on these

logistic

yes vat is included

Skud

the laptops are not that great anyway considering the processors are out of date... that's just my opinion though...

but it all depends on what you want them for
