As above I have £799 and that includes delivery.

So far the latest MESH deals look good - I'm going to buy rather than build my own

All help really appreciated

I work in It and we have used MESH before because they were the only people offering touch screen laptops at a good price. But dont bother we have already had to send a faulty one back and havent seet it since. nobody there knows anything. We build are own mainly but from experiance Dell are good quality and not bad value for money. Pay the extra £100 or so for a Dell. trust me its worth it.

Thats where i got my last one.My attitude to computers is that they are a disposable item that only has a certain shelf life so buying HP's cast offs is fine by me.

Prefer MESH to DELL because they use 'build your own' style components, so their systems are easily upgradable.

One of my mates just bought one of their base unit only deals and is very happy with it (AMD4000, 2Gb RAM, 7800GT!). Hes a regular on here too...

How pc capable are you. If your happy you could just buy the bits you need and build it yourself. You can safe yourself a packet. As all you replace are the components that you want to replaced.


Last time I rebuilt mine 5yrs ago. all I bought was motherboard, processor, memory, graphics card, and larger faster hard drive. Everything else was fine. Just upgraded the optical drives when I needed to since.

Recently just bought a new case and transfered everything across, Ready for the next upgrade which will be a bit more expensive. Likely to be Processor, Memory, Graphics card, Motherboard, hard drives, tft monitor and sound card.

This way might be a bit more time consuming but enables me to spread the cost out over a few months for some of the more easy to replace items.
