Curry’s glitch if you want a cheap laptop

BigYellowHat · 29/10/2021 22:13

Just ordered a Dell laptop for £99! Now got to wait and see if my order actually comes next week. Anyone in the market for one should consider getting on the site and giving it a go. Dying to know if it will turn up!

They wont honour it.

Legally, they do not need to honour a sale when the price is an error. And Currys dont honour these errors so all your orders will be cancelled.

Absolutely. Sometimes an error is honoured when it's ordered by one person. When one person posts that error on a huge bargain platform, causing hundreds of not thousands of people to order, there is absolutely no chance at all they will stand by it.

Also, as suggested on the hot deals thread Currys are not the best with refunds, so prepare for a wait to get your £99 back.

GoingForAWalk · 30/10/2021 00:16

I just ordered one too.

Thanks OP

I don't think it's an error as it's reduced and for 'light use'

My MacBook Air is playing up so I'm happy to have a back up or give it to DD for Christmas.

AmberOwl · 30/10/2021 00:16

Honestly, don't order it. Unless you like being without your money for a few days. All you're doing is wasting your time and that's a fact. I work in this arena and Curry's will not honour your orders and nor should they

julieca · 30/10/2021 00:19

I am not sure it is an error.

PyongyangKipperbang · 30/10/2021 00:21

What laptop should you buy if you want it to have a really good ?

Sorry to burst your bubble but it's actually just a crap laptop with insufficient processing power and memory to function at anything more than a snails pace.

MummyInTheNecropolis · 30/10/2021 00:24

Are you sure it’s an error? It’s still available on the website and shows how much it’s been reduced by:
www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/computing/laptops/laptops/dell-inspiron-15-3583-15-6-laptop-intel-pentium-128-gb-ssd-black-10218477-pdt.html

I don’t need a laptop so haven’t bought one, was just interested to see!

LaurieFairyCake · 30/10/2021 00:31

I bought one too

Intel pentium 5 with 4 gb ram - perfectly good processing power

OytheBumbler · 30/10/2021 00:32

Would this be any good for a uni student?
Seems too good a price to be true!

Duckypoohs · 30/10/2021 00:33

Nice, thanks. My youngest does need a laptop so ordered one. If it doesn't turn up nevermimd.

FelicityBeedle · 30/10/2021 00:35

Well I’m ordering one, changing my arm!

LikeACatInTheDark · 30/10/2021 00:43

Nice one if it works, OP!

SanFranBear · 30/10/2021 00:46

DD needs something like this for school and was worrying about how I could find one I could afford..

I've gone for it - if it's not valid, it's not valid but I've had email confirmation and paid through PayPal so keeping everything crossed. Thanks OP.

Whattfit · 30/10/2021 00:50

I've ordered too. Worst case they cancel it. Thanks OP

JohnStonesMissus · 30/10/2021 00:54

I've just ordered one too, seems too good to be true, but like everyone says worst case is they cancel it..

LikeACatInTheDark · 30/10/2021 00:55

I forgot to add the extra free months of Microsoft 365 to my basket🤦‍♀️ heads up to anyone else placing an order that the offer's available though!
I've also had a confirmation email and have paid by debit card; fingers crossed for us all! Smile

MarbleRunaway · 30/10/2021 01:01

DD wants one for Christmas so I’ll chance it. I think Dell are pretty good and while it won’t set the world alight it will be perfectly good enough for her and far better than the ancient (9 year old) one she has been patiently using.

Paid by credit card so if they are slow to refund it won’t matter.

Dancingonmoonlight · 30/10/2021 01:16

Its price on the .ie website is 419 euro.
I hope you all get it at the £99 price - it's a great price!

julieca · 30/10/2021 01:17

I had an email saying it will be delivered on Friday.

WobbleTime · 30/10/2021 01:20

I’ve just ordered one for my DC for Xmas. Had a confirmation email so fingers crossed they don’t cancel!
Unless it’s just a rubbish laptop (I have no idea). Does anyone know if it’s good enough for watching movies on as well as normal work and emails?
Thanks OP by the way!

tuesday2am · 30/10/2021 01:23

Just ordered, thanks OP! It did say “will be delivered when stock is available”, so they may have ran out. Either way it’s a cracking deal; will give as a Christmas present. :)

Unreasonabubble · 30/10/2021 01:30

I have just ordered one too! Delivery next Friday apparently. OMG! What a bargain if this happens.

caringcarer · 30/10/2021 01:36

I ordered one for my niece for homework. Guess I'll be the favourite Aunty if it turns up. Email saying expect delivery Friday. Also states whilst stock lasts so not sure it will be arrive but keeping fingers crossed. Thank you so much OP. If they arrive you will be favourite on MN.

I’m still waiting on my air fryer.
