I know they had an offer like that a few weeks back. Are you sure its this thursday?

I just popped in to my local branch and the range of computers is pretty dismal :rolleyes: the only one I'd have any interest in is a 12.1" Acer 2920 but it's €799 so will be €599 tomoorow, however laptopsdirect have it priced at €487.85 + del. but have no stock....

They did have a pallet load of the €25 HP printers mentioned on another thread ready to be put on display, so I guess these will be €18.75 tomorrow!

I would def be interested in getting the cheaper of the Acer laptops for my son. Anyone have any idea which Tesco in the cork area would be the best for getting what I want? So the acer for 375 should cost me 281.25 tomorrow.

Please can some-one let me know where they have these currently in stock in cork.(or any sub €400 ones) It would be very much appreciated. Am willing to leave very early in the morning as little man wants one from santy. Thanks in Advance, I know you Cork boardsies won't let me down.

I think the saving brings it down to 375. I dont think it is 25% off 375 but 499. If it was then that would be even better. Where would be the best bet in north dublin to get one. Was in tesco finglas last week and they had no computers.

Also looking at that laptopsdirect website. Has anyone ever used them before? Are they ok?

I do recall on previous searches for laptops that they had an acer model for approx 379(think I saw them in both Mahon & Midleton(cork) a month or so back) I am hoping that one may be stock with the reduction on top of that. i currently have an acer and wouldn't pay more than 300 for a second one.

Re laptopsdirect, we(thats me and brother jaytee) ordered a couple of sony lcds 32" from them. No problems with them at all.

Can anyone confirm or deny that Tesco have 400euro and below laptops before the discount(poor santy is very stressed)

MunsterCycling

Best to get Tesco on the blower as these offers tend to go fast, check their site for phone numbers of the different shops.

As regards laptopsdirect, they are fine once nothing goes wrong, check the laptops forum for nighmare stories about them, even the Elara rep on here has called them a shower and hated in the industry IIRC for their antics, something in the range of showing a € price and charging same in £ i think is what was going on.

I'd prefer not to ring tesco! I fear drawing staff's attention to offer, they put things aside for themselves, and thus all the real bargain buys are gone before I get there!...

Do-more

I am sure that my local Tescos (Mullingar) had an Acer for €399 a few weeks back, but there were none there today.

I normally find the customer service staff very helpful, I'd say your best bet is to take a run around your local branches tonight and if you find one under €400 bring the box to customer service and ask them to put your name on it and go back for it in the morning. They have no reason to refuse you.

Might just try that. And it happens that I am going by 2 tescos on the way home tonight! Would love to get this laptop out of the way, its been doing my head searching and searching for the best deal. Jaysus I'd love not to have to worry about the price of things so much

ya the last time it was on my sis got a samsung for 450 euro

daftdave

with the vista operating system you really could do with more than 1g of ram , couple of months down the line and laptop will be doing your head in because of sluggishness

Still remember Tesco had half price computer offer in august, Samsung R60p was €299, Acer 5051 was €274.

okidoki987

25% is better then nowt, expecially just before Christmas.

dabbler2004

Some stores may have the Acer 5220 in stock which is €285 with the 25% off, the Acer 5315 was on offer a few weeks back at €399 but the retail has gone back up to €499 (€375 with 25% off offer till Sunday )

antomack

Anyone know if the 25% off applies to monitors as well?

okidoki987

Don't think Tesco do monitors.

They have loads of Laptops & Desktops in Tallaght this morning.
Today you will get 3 times the Club Points in Tesco Tallaght if you buy anything, special offer exclusive to Tallaght on a Thursday only.

antomack

They have a Samsung 22" monitor on offer for €299 till 24/11, model T220HD. It's also got a built in TV tuner but Samsung classify it as a monitor so it gets a 3 year warranty. If Tesco's apply the 25% off that'd make €225 for a Full HD TV.
So suits as Monitor, TV, might even be perfect for your PS3 or XBox360.
Link to specs

1680 x 1050
2 x HDMI
1 x DVI
1 x VGA
1 x RGB SCART
Only 300 brightness
1,000:1 contrast, 10,000 dynamic
5ms response
Supports 1080P (Full HD)

Update
Decided I'd see for myself so checked in the local Tescos and as they classify it as a TV they are not including it in the 25% off offer. I pointed out that Samsung market it as a computer monitor with built-in TV tuner but they were having none of it, the hardware manager even rang HO to check. If anyone finds out any different let us know.

Gerbud

Tallaght have no laptops left. There are a few Acer desktops still there. they said they should be getting more in as offer on till Sunday.

lindtee

a shower of *****. Went this morning having remembered that there were a few models for 400 or less. ALL the prices of the laptops have gone up, even with the 25% off you'd do better else where. Even with the discount the laptop I currently have would be €50 more than I paid over 6 months ago

I'm really sick of that place, putting up the prices of everything(I won't bore you with a verrryyy long list) for no reason. At least I had €15 euro of vouchers to put towards my shopping, which was spent wisely on all the half price meat offers plus a box of chocolates. **** you tesco, will not be darkening your doors again.

okidoki987

putting up the prices of everything

Funny you say that as their recent 25% back Wine Promotion, I had noticed
they had got rid of nearly all their offers from the previous day and put them back up to full price. The offers then reverted back after the 25% back had finished. :mad:

Do-more

Same with the HP printer that was @ €25 in the other thread. Now it's priced at €59.99 so it's €45 after the 25% off. What a scam!:mad:

lindtee

They must think the Irish are idiots and won't notice this sort of carry on...well I'm voting with my feet and aint going there anymore. Rip off Republic? Damn right. Thinking of emailing Joe Duffy about this. Things(including everyday food stuff) going up 20% to 30% aint on.

Oracle

I notice the offer also applies to all printer ink cartridges, they have cheaper own brand ones too. So there might be worthwhile savings to be made there.

25%, I saw a wine I wanted to buy go from €10 up to €17 for the Sale.

I turned around & walked out.

Are you sure it's the same printer? The one I saw for €59.99 was a 4280 whereas the one in the other thread was a 4480.
