Opinions on this Laptop please

BeanFlicker

Hi,

I have an Acer Predator G5900 with a 24" LG inch monitor but don't have the space for it anymore so I've been looking at getting an ultra book and was looking for yee're opinions on this model below

Asus S3 i7 4GB

I have a €150 euro voucher for Argos so that will bring the price to €770, I was also going to go with using Argos finance link here and have it paid within the 6 months which I will be able to do

What's peoples thoughts on this laptop?

Also, I don't have the full specs for the Acer Predator but iirc it's an i5 Intel Core @ 3.20 GHz, 4 GB RAM & Windows 7 64 bit, any ideas on price with monitor + 4 years warrenty? (I will stick it up in how much my pc worth tomorrow when I'm home and have the full specs)

Thanks

*Edit: mostly for Media, Internet and most importantly Football Manager
*Edit2: even better solution as it's cheaper and Acer S3 i5 4GB working out as €540

What can I say... buy a warm coat at Argos with your €150 voucher (winter is coming) and forget about 23% APR financing. Get your laptop elsewhere.

Whats your thoughts on the laptop tho? (the i5 model @ €540)

Also it's interest free if you pay it off in the 6 months

Or this for €599 but can get at €450

Am no expert dude but that looks overpriced. What about this for the same monies then you still got that voucher for a new winter coat:pac:.

Haha I'm not getting a winter coat in Argos..!!

@Joshua - yea there's no comparison, will save up and go for something like that now.

Just for other people looking at Argos Finance, gave them a call there:

You pay 10% deposit (must use chip & pin, no vouchers/cash etc)
Pay nothing for 6 months (I thought you paid it back on a monthly basis up to 6 months)
Balance must be paid at the end of the 6 month period
If all paid at the end of the 6 month period, then it's interest free
If not paid at the end of the 6 month period, you then get hit with the 23% APR for 48 months

Honestly not a bad deal if ye know you could pay at the end of the 6 months.

Anyways, my first post is now redundant and I'm looking for laptop recommendations.

Preferably nothing more than 14", mostly used for media and light gaming (FM13), not pushed if it doesn't have a disk drive. Really like the one Joshua has linked but any others worth looking at. Budget around €600 max

Also, what are LD like for delivery times and there returns/repairs policy if any problems occur with the laptop?

thanks again
