Second hand laptops i would not recommend, for the sake of a few euro extra you will get a new one and you will have some comeback. laptops get alot more abuse than a PC and are more likely to cause problems.

i purchased (or should i say paid)a laptop from laptopsdirect.ie they are cheap and cheap for a reason. 2/3 days delivery they state. i paid for it on the 10th of December and still havent got it, phoned a number of times telling me it was sent, courier service said they didnt receive it. dreadful service.

dabs.ie are good, and dell.
