with no thrills but less chance of going wrong £539.
Do I get the Dell inspiron more thrills but If I make enough fuss will be able to get them to repair it in oz
Do I get a lower spec Fujitsu-seimans or Toshiba one that has a worldwide warranty
Please help I just can't make up my mind

I'm not going through Singapore but Malaysia and not KL but Penang, so I'm not sure I'd like to gamble on getting a good deal there.
The Toshiba one is higher spec than the dell one and £42 cheaper, it also has the hassle free worldwide warranty

Had my Dell laptop now for four years, never had a problem. Also have a Dell desktop with no probs. MIL and SIL also have Dell computers with no probs.

But seriously Wayne you've come to the same conclusion as me it just seems to make sense.
That is unless Gina's old man can get me an attractive discount

If you can get an attractive discount, that makes all the difference too
