shawnee

I got the Samsung in Tesco Dooradoyle, I have reason to call to Tesco through work and a staff member mentioned it to me. The offer is still open, so they may get some more in. If I hear of any I will keep you posted.:)

I'll be having a look first thing in the morning in Mahon Point so I can keep you posted. If I have no luck there, will check out Wilton. (Cause I have to be in CUH for 9). Fingers crossed. My son will be delira if I manage to get one.

Did this offer only start today?

Not sure when it started, but definitely not today as most places have been sold out since yesterday.

Every branch of Tesco's I rang today (around 12!!) were either all sold out, or else were quoting me the regular prices 599+ and didn't know anything about the sale..

There's a lot of cameras going half price tomorrow.

Any idea of what cameras?

I went into Jervis Street earlier and they were redoing the electronic aisle. I asked the girl that was restocking the shelves and she said that the half price offer starts tommorrow

Tesco Lucan had a few this morning, reduced, but not as low as mentioned here. Tesco Tallaght (Square) had none at all at about 5:00 this evening.

Sweet ..that will save me a trip if they dont have the offer , although if they do i'd imagine they will sell out very fast

@lindtee: Smaller screen models will normally have better battery life. Make sure you are getting one with a good processor though. If using at home, remove the battery to extend its life.

I have an Acer 7520, 17", 2GB RAM, 160GB HDD, nvidia GeForce 700M with 256MB RAM, AMD TL55 dual core processor etc. which I got from Walmart (friend brought it over) for €465 about 6 months ago. Thought that was a good deal at the time.

the_syco

Was in the Maynooth Tescos there. They have the 15.4" for €399 and only 2 on the shelf.

BUT... I knew there was a 14" one for €274, and that's what I got. It was in the store room. So when you go in, ask, and they'll probably have one in the back store.

Lots more in the Store room, the dude who got the laptop for me said.

On my samsung i got a 60 day free trial of MS office 2007. Also, if hes a student, theres a software for students commercial interaction forum here, might still be a bit steep tho, depending on what you need.

As a poster above said, try open office before giving Microsoft your money, which should always be avoided.

I find Open Office pretty good - it's got most of the bells and whistles of Microsoft Office - and it can read and write Microsoft Office files. It's a freebie distributed by IBM I think - just Google it and pick a reputable looking download site. db.

OpenOffice is distributed by Sun Microsystems!

So are these bargains or could you pick up the same or better from Dell? :P

Dman001

€349.99 is the cheapest Dell laptop. It's the Vostro 1000 and has 1GB RAM and an 80GB HDD. If you check out the Dell laptop thread on BA, they may have a coupons to make it cheaper.

savemejebus

or the Vostro 1510 which starts at 259 euro, and can be brought up to a nice spec for a few quid extra.

go to www.dell.ie/epp and click on e-value in the top right hand corner.
Enter the code 305 N0815101A

I went to Tesco in Dundalk today and there laptops were €599 & €399, rang Drogheda up and they were selling the same ones at €299 and had none left. Went back into Tesco in Dundalk and told them what I was told by Tesco Drogheda, reply I got was "there's no such offer".
Ended up going to Monaghan and they had same ones mentioned here at €299 & €274, got the one at €274 (Acer Aspire 5051) and well happy with it, very nice laptop .

Can someone tell me does the 14'' Acer has glossy screen?

Thanks.

It's a CrystalBrite (glass finish) display, very good sharp picture on it, far better than my Toshiba Satellite.

Flew out to Finglas as Ericl told me to do, I could have gone for the Acer 5220 but decided to go for a Toshiba L70 (I think it is?) has 120gb Memory 1gb Ram Pentium Dual Core Processor and Vista Basic. Comes with a nice little pack consists of Webcam, Optical Mouse, Microphone Headset thing, 1gb Memory Stick, Usb Keypad and a 2 Hub Usb Port. Have to say its a great piece of kit. Battery lasted about 3 hours without the charger in and the wireless works perfectly. It will do me for school next year. Oh and to anyone thinking of going out to Finglas to get an Acer or Samsung there was plenty there at 3 o clock today but that all probably changed as for the Toshiba I got the last one :P

I have just come back from Clearwater where the staff told me the PC counter is closed until 9am,Walsh how much did the Samsungs cost and also how much was the Toshiba.

Pete67

Checked Tesco in the Square again this morning at 08:00, no laptops at all there :-(

Anyone get any of the Samsungs?

Could anyone confirm what spec they are?

I rang a few places yesterday and was told that the Samsungs had 160GB HD, and 2GB RAM all for E299 which seems like an unbelievable offer to me compared to the other two Acers.. not sure what spec the Toshiba's were though?

No wonder those Samsungs sold out so quickly if that is indeed the spec!

CantGetNoSleep

Has anyone been to any of the Waterford Tescos yet?

The ex was able to get one of those Samsungs- model was R60P (or Plus). Spec as above for €299. Processor was a Dual Core though and not Core Duo. Battery is also a 4 cell while I think the Acers are 6. Great price for what it is if you can manage to find any. She bought it in the Lucan branch- when I went back last night they only had the 17" model and was only marked down by 20%- at €799 not a bargain at all.

Thanks for that!

The R60plus looks like a sexy machine, lovely black glossy finish.. I'm off now to try my hand at getting one of those babies, I'll let you all know how I got on when I get back!

Tesco Stillorgan still had some left last night.
I picked up 2 of the Toshibas for €349 each.
They still had some of the Acer laptops for €274.

The Samsung (R60 plus) has duo core,2Gb ram and 160Gb HDD, for 299 euro it's a bargan.

I managed to get one Sumsung this morning from Tesco Jervis shopping centre.

It's all sold out, their staffs were queueing to buy the Samsung laptop with their 10% discount.:mad:

bob123456

Picked up one in the Jervis Center.

They had 2 of the 14.1" Acer (274e) and 2 of the 17" Acer (299e) and 3 or 4 of the Samsungs (299e)

I would say most are all gone now as the staff were buying them all or putting them behind the counter for other staff members.
If fact customer service was packed with staff buying them.
