    Also a possible €50 Cashback.
    Not for everyone, as it's Packard Bell, and it's not a gaming laptop. Pretty basic.

    But. It is possible to get an extra €50 Cashback, bringing the price down to €268.

    That's pretty good for a 17.3" Laptop with the spec it has.
    Info about Cashback (Similar form) - HERE
    Main Form here - https://packardbell-windows8.customsolutions.fr/contact.php?LNG=EN

    You must reject Windows 8 licence when booting, and send it back to them. You can then install Ubuntu or whatever you choose.

    I bought a PB laptop with similar specs about 3 and a half years ago and it's still going strong. I'm a newly qualified computing student so it's after getting a hell of a lot of use over that time. I paid about 800 at the time for mine and never had a problem with it so this looks like a great bargain. Don't let the fact that you may not have heard of PB in about 10 years put you off :p

    Yep. I think it's a good deal. For €268, Possibly cheaper (looking at similar offer with cheaper shipping).

    They are owned by Acer now (Since a few years ago), and have been slowly rebuilding their reputation. I'm looking at buying it, trying to justify it..
    I have spent that on a lesser spec'd 2nd hand laptop..

    Ah well. I shouldn't have hesitated. Back up to €394 + shipping now. Both i was looking at were the same seller..

    €364 with cashback. I wouldn't buy it for that.

    Was looking before Christmas and found the laptops on E-Bay to be cheaper than Amazon.
