20% off All Refurbished Laptops, Netbooks and Desktops (Excludes Apple Products) (Offer Applied At Checkout) @ Dixons
As described in title, seems to be a couple of bargains to be had. I just bought a dual core hp netbook for my daughter and with the discount came in at under £150 down from £180.

Still hot from me.
Good luck OP my first experience was a great Dell laptop but two further experiences complete nightmare - could not even supply correct lead and then dealing with customer services : oh dear!
they guys who had done the refurbing had stuck it in properly
free 2gb ram anyway.. might come in handy
Ditto I wouldn't touch their refurbs...5 weeks and still waiting for my refund.

That makes no sense
20% off the new price for a second hand (used) laptop. I realise that you still get the 12 month warranty, but the laptop will have been returned because it broke and has been fixed by the Dixons/PC World monkeys.

Think he means hadn't stuck it in properly. Ram was there, but wasn't being seen by system as it wasn't correctly inserted. Hence got free stick of ram due to DSG's incompetence.:)
Actually, I suspect DSG's refurbishment guys' expertise is limited to seeing if it switches on and putting it in a box for dispatching. Ram probably came unseated in transit. Never met any DSG employee who had the first idea about anything!

BUT
I checked out the HP3100 on their site yesterday, and now the 20% off has come on-line, the base price is much hgher. I think it's listed about £50 more than yesterday.
1) Buying any refurb is taking a calculated risk - risk versus reward - as with many things in life.
2) Their laptop/netbook fleabay outlet offers are mostly refurbs and the overall feedback rating is 99.3% positive.
3) Looking at the negative ratings, only a few are about refurbed laptop/netbooks, although clearly the odd duffer does get through.
4) I do have total sympathy for anyone who does receive a duffer, but may i suggest that perhaps these people who are unhappy and often angry, do tend to grab a disproportionate amount of attention in forums like these.
5) Amongst the mediocre dross that Currys/PC World sell, the odd pearl appears in refurb form at a bargain price. These are the deals worth considering. Choose carefully and there are bargains to be had. If you receive it in an unacceptable condition, you have seven days to send it back.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. One of the best forum posts that I have seen for a long time. I totally agree.
Looking at buying a friend a machine today on this deal, and hoping we get lucky again! Thanks for the heads up

That makes no sense
It makes sense if you add the word NOT, you pedant!

Wait so a 4 gig stick of ram wasn't pushed in properly so it appeared like a 2 gig stick of ram?
