I think Acer is pretty good value aswell, apart from all the sh1te they install on it, but they are not the only ones, a lot if not most makers load their own stuff on systems.
i had a top end laptop full hd, bluray was very good , but you do get what u pay for , there ok for the kids , but personally have a sony viao now the main diff is the battery life even new u would only get 2 hours max on an acer , i have upto 6 hours on my sony laptop

Am in london m8.
Why get them from one supplier? I found one half cheaper at ebuyer and the other half cheaper at CCL online. Never used CCL online though but they're selling the i7 920 retails still.
I emailed ebuyer to see if they priced match considering I was buying around £1000 stuff but they said no.
Asked the same with CCL but still waiting for reply

If you want price matching you have to ring. Telesales teams are on commision, websales (perhaps barring Dell's live chat) aren't. However, the most likely reason Dell haven't contacted you is they cannot match the price.
However, Ebuyer and CCL both do free delivery on orders over £50, so just split the order across the two if CCL also say no to a price match (remember CCL 'do' quidco).
It's handy to have everything turn up at once, though generally it's because you'll save more on the postage costs by ordering from one supplier than spreading your order across several when chasing a few pounds on items.
