Where have all the laptops gone!?

[Arabiannightss]

Looking for a Windows laptop under £500 but they all seem to be sold out everywhere,
Tried John Lewis, Argos, Curry’s
where else to look?
Tried direct on brand sites but a lot of them redirect to retailers.
Won’t buy something of value like that from Amazon.

Got a decent hp laptop for under £400 from laptops direct (did research on the one I wanted) was also in curry’s for a bit more but not too much more

Ebuyer is a good site. I’ve purchased a laptop and printer from them in the past.

It's because of lockdown

Desks are tough to find too

Thanks all, I guessed it was because of lockdown & that’s partly what we need it for as my teen dds school seems to be sending kids home left,right & centre! But she needs a laptop anyway.
I’ll look on those sites recommded, thank you

If you are tech savvy, PC Specialist might be an option

Laptops direct . Where I get mine from

Why wouldn’t you want to buy it off Amazon?

They’re great when things are not quite right with something.

Ebuyer as above. World of Computers in Cambridge is good.

Laptops and printers... in short supply since the announcement of lockdown. Well, all the cheaper ones anyway.

We got ours from laptops direct to.

Same happened in March. Most schools have been sending out questionnaires about technology, so maybe people are thinking things might change soon.

I got one from Curry's toe days ago. I told the SA, that I needed one that was immediately available so he showed me what they had in stock and it was delivered the next day.

I had curry's and wouldn't buy from them as they continually mess up my orders.

We went to curry’s to get my daughter a laptop. Found the one we wanted. Tried to buy it and there wasn’t a single one available in the whole country 🙄. Why have it on display then??

This doesn’t bode well now that I have decided to get DD one for her birthday soon 🙈

Beware the price will probably rocket from £500 because it won’t come with any packages or virus software installed.

We bought DD a MacBook in the end for this reason

I found it was the case with sewing machines as well.

Sometimes you just have to put your principles to one side when needs must.

Have you tried your local pc repair shop? Ours has lots of high quality laptops - refurbished but in great condition, for between 200 and 600. Worth a look.

Havr you tried AO.com?

Not tried AO so will look now
Had a look on Ebuyer though and that looked positive
To the poster who asked about amazon, I wouldn’t buy anything of great value from there and line Jeff Bezos pocket any further
