385539 2005-09-02 21:36:00 I've got a customer who's irritating the heck out of me by not having her own computer. She reckons the cost outweighs the inconvenience. Bah humbug. I need her to have one.

So what's the cheapest bare-bones notebook/laptop available? All it's needed for is Internet browsing and email (or rather that's all I need her to have it for).

Thx

385540 2005-09-02 21:44:00 The Warehouse Stationery are advertising a Dell laptop for $999 which sounds suitable. Jen (38)
385541 2005-09-02 21:51:00 Perfies! Thx Jen. Greg (193)
385542 2005-09-02 22:13:00 Dick Smith have a pretty good offer going - Acer 3002LC for $1098 including GST. I think there is some kind of cash back offer going and they throw in a 128 USB key.

That Dell looks good too.

Actually I'm really impressed with the price of low end laptops at the moment - go the kiwi dollar!

385543 2005-09-02 22:37:00 Just found this (reseller.co.nz) which has more information on the Warehouse Dell laptop. :)

But if you are interested, be quick because the deal ends Tuesday 6th September.

385545 2005-09-03 00:40:00 Meh....A customer of mine was asking about cheap Laptops the other day, After lookin at me like I was crazy after offering to sell him an Asus for $1600 I sent him off down the warehouse to get a sub-$1000 Dell.

Price bracket was right for him,and he only wanted to use word and email.....
