leco Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 Might just be tempted on one of those for me:) But will also tell my boss.
FN-GM Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 Abit to chunky for me i have my eye on the eeepc seashell
Dos_Box Posted June 20, 2009 Author Posted June 20, 2009 Hmmm. £368 vs £135 for a 'throw in the bag' travel laptop. I know which one I'm buying! 1
EduTech Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 Pay Day next week aswell! bonus I'll be getting one and pass it on to my boss at work, might be worth getting some james.
Little-Miss Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 With or without VAT? Delivery? How many in a shipment?!
srochford Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 Me please! If I were into conspiracy theories, I'd suggest that this is deliberately placed in the week that many people will get paid but I'm not a conspiracist (?) so I won't :-)
dhicks Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 These will cost £135 each and this price extends to you as individuals wanting to purchase one for yourself too Yes, I'd be interested in one of those for myself, although like everyone else I'll need to know if that £135 is including VAT, shipping, and VAT on shipping (sorry, used to dealing with Dell...). -- David Hicks
dhicks Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 Yes, I'd be interested in one of those for myself, although like everyone else I'll need to know if that £135 is including VAT, shipping, and VAT on shipping (sorry, used to dealing with Dell...). Also, as regards this other thread about SIM cards: can we get a machine capable of using a pay-as-you-go SIM card internally to connect to a mobile broadband service, or do we have to use a USB dongle. If we have to use a USB dongle, which ones work with Linux on this laptop? -- David Hicks
EduTech Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 Now £159.99 inc.VAT £139.12 ex.VAT Thats the price on the edugeek acer outlet, so i gather we have it at a reduced price £135.00 Excl VAT so with VAT it works out to £155.25 which is still a fantastic price! James.
Dos_Box Posted June 22, 2009 Author Posted June 22, 2009 Ignore the price on the Outlet site. We haven't updated it yet, as they have not arrived (in a container on a ship etc). We are just getting a feeling as to how this offer would go down.
CyberDrac Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 Could be interested, would be more interested on the version with internal 3G, but interested nonetheless.
dhicks Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 We are just getting a feeling as to how this offer would go down. And we are just trying to figure out what, exactly, the offer includes. Is £135 the final price that individual buyers would pay, or is there VAT, shipping, and/or VAT on shipping to add on top? Can we get a machine capable of using a pay-as-you-go SIM card internally to connect to a mobile broadband service, or do we have to use a USB dongle. If we have to use a USB dongle, which ones work with Linux on this laptop? -- David Hicks
SYNACK Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 If only I was in the UK I would so buy one of those, that model is not even avalible yet in NZ and to get the model before it here would cost an extra £97. Are you sure that you can't do international shipping?
