    Hi,

    So the motherboard went on my XPS at the worst possible time as I have a lot of work to do. I need a new laptop ASAP but I'm so low on funds there is no way I could pay for one up front.

    Where would be the best place to purchase one for hire purchase? I am based in Kilkenny. Would it just be handier to go to a computer shop here?

    Thanks!

    You should look into financing options before hire purchase. most should offer terms like 6/12/18/24 months at a fixed percentage (sometimes 0%) as long as you make regular minimum pmts and pay off the principal within the timeframe. Dependent on your credit worthiness. Hire purchase is not dependent on credit worthiness but as a result is also a less appealing option and far more expensive in the long run. A hire purchase place around the corner from my store offers terms that typically cost the buyer 3x the purchase cost of the laptop.
