It all started when I saw an ad in last wednesdays Daily Mirror. The ad draws you attention to what they call 'Dell's Lowest Priced Notebook' and it is priced at £299. Which to me looks like a bargain because I have been looking for a laptop for my wife, who just want to use word and excel, so we don't really need a top spec one.
This laptop, the Dell Inspiron 1300 is quoted as having
- Intel Celeron M processor 370
- Windows XP Home edition
- 256mb ram
- 40gb hard drive
- 24x CD/DVD drive
- 56K modem
- 1 year euro collect and return service
Sounded good to me, so I went to their website, think I might purchase one.
On the website www.dell.co.uk/offer you actually find that the Inspiron 1300 is quoted at £348 pounds, you click through the links to buy and suddenly the price is up to £424 and I havenh't done anything yet, just clicked through the links!
By changing some of the selections I now have it down to £407 .48p, thats a bit off the quoted £299
So I telephone their sales desk, and speak to a very nice man, probably in Bombay because I couldn't recognise his irish accent!
He goes all through the listing again and comes up with a price of £405
Now where is that £299 Laptop they are advertising?
