Dell Computer on QVC
 
Today's "TSV" on QVC is the following Dell laptop;

Can anyone see any justification for this seemingly ridiculously high price? Seems a fairly poor spec to me!

Looks very poor value for money IMO, must be some mistake I think, or hope :D

Just seen 'em hawking it on the TV - laughable!
Similar laptop on Dell Outlet http://outlet.dell.com/Emea_Dfo/EuDi...!1078681519945
About £500 cheaper!

Today's Special Value £1412.9 4
UK Postage & Packaging £58.00

At least the postage is a bargain. :Yikes:

I'm glad I got my 5100 straight from dell now :) although the 510m is smaller than mine.

BTW, any one going to buy a Dell, go through http://www.couponmountain.co.uk/ you'll get some discount, £50 at the mo but can be up to £100, they're Dell affiliates, so you just need to connect to the Dell site through them and the discount is taken off automatically.

£58 for postage and packing?

I didn't know that boxes, styrofoam, polythene, sticky labels and cable ties were so expensive :rofl:

That price apparently includes some tech monkey come delivery boy who takes it out of it's box and plugs it in for you.

As is more often than not the case with QVC - personally, half the fun for me comes with un-packaging / unwrapping and installing AV / computer equipment...

What a price...amazing

try www.eaf.co.uk for all Dell's end of line machines. Dell call anything not sold in 2 mths 'end of line' so there are some fantastic machines.

It would cost you £95 for this if you ordered direct from Dell. :Yikes:
