I think a laptop would be useful in certain situations, wen Im lazy and dont want to get out of bed and use my computer.

Maybe I want to be out and about and then use it then.

Several other places I could use a laptop too, so I would use it.

Although I cant afford a laptop at the moment, I really dont want to go on finance, as if I do Id have to go to somewhere like Bright house that will do it guaranteed.

Would you guys save up? Get a new one? 2nd hand one?

Did the same. I love my lappy

I got a refurb Dell (as some of you probably saw when I posted about it), saved loads of money and theres still a years RTB warranty with the seller.

Did the same? Finance ? But with me, and the high finance rates put me off. I might save up...

if you want one asap, get a CC with 12months 0%apr

you can get a decent enough lappy for Ã,£450~

cut the card up aftre you buy the lappy

pay Ã,£38 a month off it and you have a lappy now that hasnt cost you more than the price.

I got a used Dell complete with linksys wifi for about Ã,£100. Plenty fast for net and officey type stuff.

I recently got an Apple Macbook

Its rather brilliant - wish Id switched to OS X years ago now!

Ive had my laptop for about 4yrs & prob used it less than 100 hours!

I have a terrible credit rating and credit card companies wont give me a card.

There are plenty of powerful lappys around the Ã,£500 mark, the Lenovo 3000 N100 0768  in bargains seems a very reasonable one at a good price.

My kids have had it for about 8 wks now and its a great laptop, the WIFI

Get one of these, theyre really cheap, and the OS is really simple to use, a lot like Mac OSX...
