ACER ASPIRE 5742-I3

[Conzy]

Howdy!

I'm wondering if ACER ASPIRE 5742-I3 is good value for money? Apparently it's been reduced from £679.99 to £379, but I'm not sure whether that's true or not? The i3 370M @ 2.4GHz has an average CPU mark of 2185, which beats every other processor I've seen at this price range. It also has 4GB RAM when most laptops at this price range have 2/3.

So yeah, should I get it? I need to order by 2 p.m. if I'm going to get it today (collect in-store).

Hello Conzy;
That seems a HUGE drop in price. Doesn't it seem almost toooo good to be true?
Is this a new laptop? or a 'refurbished' or 'returned' model?

That 'order by 2pm' deadline is only if you want next day delivery.

Also asking over @ Notebookreview, eh?

Dixon's is also offering the same model for the same price. So the deal looks genuine. It's very well equipped for that price.
