    Can she not get a bank loan for the amount. Interest rates from her bank would probably work out that bit better and would leave her free to choose from numerous different shops and online retailers.

    Well paying on a finance option instore would be a loan too. PC World have an interest free 12 month option but there is a catch. It's actually a 48 month plan at around 29% but if you pay the total amount before the year is up you don't pay any interest. You have to be in full time employment to get finance from them though. Harvey Normans do a finance option as well but I don't know anything about that.

    You could ask her to try the sony centre. If you pay a deposit of more than 10% up front you can get the laptop over 1 or 2 years with little or no interest.
