    im just wondering where would be the best place to get a loan for a laptop, i checked with my bank (halifax) and their minimum personal loan is €2500 which is way too much, all i want is €1000, anyone got any recommendations?

    Why not try places that have an interest free option for 12 months. But thats if your going to be paying it of in less than a year becaue the interest rate can go as high as 22.9% then. Apart from that (for more than a year) shop around in the banks for a good rate.

    Amount is too small for a bank load tbh. Maybe the people selling you the laptop can arrange some finance.

    harvey normans, interest free for 18 months.

    i also think some banks do a credit account

    a credit card with a low rate for the first year, just make sure to buy the laptop and destroy the card

    credit union, you will need to save a few quid a month for a while

    I got a AIB Personal Loan for €1000 a year or so ago. How is it too small?

    I'd suggest the interest free option through the store though if you can afford to pay off in 12 months!
