cooper Posted May 21, 2007 Posted May 21, 2007 Im looking for a good deal on laptops for laptop trollys Any recomendations??
Guest richard Posted May 21, 2007 Posted May 21, 2007 Don't for the love of god buy Acer!!!! You could have a look at Viglen they do some pretty good laptops.
bishopsgarthstockton Posted May 21, 2007 Posted May 21, 2007 We baught all our laptops from viglen for both staff and mobile classroom. Really good build quality, strong and rubost. I agree with Richard, dont buy acer; Funny enough i have one sat on me desk waiting to be repaired (looks to his right and sigs)
mrforgetful Posted May 21, 2007 Posted May 21, 2007 Never had a problem with Acers but not had a lot. Always find Ergo to be good, think half of ours are them now and only ever had 2 go wrong, and they were fixed next day under waranty.
Halfmad Posted May 21, 2007 Posted May 21, 2007 Up until recently I would have recommended either Apple or Dell but now I can't bring myself to. Both sets of laptops seem to suffer horribly from being too flimsy for students. Apple keys simply won't stay on the keyboard and Dell D620s are extremely fragile compared to the D600/D610s which they replaced. It's a shame as both laptops are good, if you're careful with them!
cooper Posted May 21, 2007 Author Posted May 21, 2007 Thanks for that, Just been on the phone to Viglen very helpful Cooper

Guest kerrymoralee9280 Posted May 21, 2007 Posted May 21, 2007 http://www.rm.com That's where we got our laptops, trolley safe and chargers from. Good spec, and best of all, they have glass screen fronts helping them to be more hard wearing.
Guest richard Posted May 21, 2007 Posted May 21, 2007 Your welcome, You will find there tech support is 1st class. p.s. haggle like hell with the sales team and you will get a fantastic price speaking from experience teehee They are always open to negotiation but I have never really had to as I have been dealing with them for almost 6 years now and have built up a terrrific relationship with them.
mrforgetful Posted May 22, 2007 Posted May 22, 2007 Haggling is something I really don't want to have to do, a price should be when you ask it shouldn't be necessary to barter, we're not buying something from a market for God's sake.
Guest richard Posted May 22, 2007 Posted May 22, 2007 I will always try and haggle to get the best price possible. I have to admit that I do like that bit of the job
RobD Posted May 22, 2007 Posted May 22, 2007 Dont ever go with samsung, they quite honestly make me want to cry sometimes!!!
Mr_T Posted May 22, 2007 Posted May 22, 2007 I will always try and haggle to get the best price possible. I have to admit that I do like that bit of the job Yes i love it when they come out with the "you are stealing the food from my childrens mouth" line

I have to admit that I do like that bit of the job Yes i love it when they come out with the "you are stealing the food from my childrens mouth" line No, I normally try and go down the "blag a freebie" as I find that works quite well.
bishopsgarthstockton Posted May 22, 2007 Posted May 22, 2007 We have agreat relationship with Viglen. But they are business people, and sometimes it has to be done
Guest richard Posted May 22, 2007 Posted May 22, 2007 We have agreat relationship with Viglen. But they are business people, and sometimes it has to be done My account manager at Viglen actually told me that the expect us to haggle over prices etc.
