    That's €35.33, will you get free delivery or dpd/pm/addresspal for €1.69 or less?

    You'll get free delivery with that.
    Not much in it, but Amazon might be more convenient.

    Great price whereever you get it.

    This has been posted numerous times in both the Argos and Amazon threads yesterday

    That makes this thread a BOGOF.

    Just got a couple for Christmas presents.

    Choice between heading to nearest Argos, battling through shopping centres pre Christmas, or clicking my mouse and letting the post man deliver?

    No brainer.

    Always prefer Argos myself. Have the luxury of pulling up right at the door on my motorbike, though. Delivery times to Ireland are ridiculous as well.

    Hope you don't have to return it.

    Choice between Argos and the Post Office, I know where I'd rather be heading!

    Amazon send in prepaid labels for returns. There's a post box/office in every village in Ireland. Can't say the same for Argos

    my sister is over in america next week and was going to pick up an ipad pro for the parents, as there old one is gone very slow. are the two comparable ? I would probably go for the 10 inch screen for the pro, or the amazon fire

    The Argos version is better as the Amazon one is the special config with display adds
    £39.99 for the one Argos have on Amazon (without special config)

    In fairness iPad Pro/fire is incomparable. The fire is an ereader with extras, while the iPad is a workhorse tablet.

    You can buy 20 fire tablets for the price of 1 iPad Pro.

    32gb ipad pro 9.7inch $549 amazon us, 32 fire 10 inch £152 amazon uk.

    I know there is a big price difference , but I was wondering was there a huge difference for the likes of just browsing the internet, and using the likes of donedeal app. This is likely all my parents will use it for. if the fire was a good quick tablet, I would just get them that

    Do they have Apple products or Android ? Would they manage the crossover between 2 software platforms with ease?
    If it is for basic browsing etc an Ipad pro might be overkill ?

    mother has an android phone, but always had an ipad. tis hard work to get em to change. She had a nexus phone, and i had to replace that with the newer nexus model. could not convince her to get a nice cheap Chinese replacement :pac::pac:

    it will be for basic browsing and a few photos etc, that's all. once i knew the fire would be fine for this i could start trying to convince her it is ok !!

    No:( I was 100% convinced it would be 30% off today an all aas most of the other Amazon deals in the US were replicated in UK.
