Re: the new Aldi Pc
I bought A Gericom 3.05 P4 laptop from Aldi about a month ago. 60G HD, 15" TFT (1400x1050 - nice) CD/DVD R/RW and loads of ports, wireless card etc. Price of £1K included 2 years warranty AND all risks insurance. Seems good. Nice & quiet. Negatives ... battery lasts just about 2.25 hrs with that sort of power. Not a lot but then I am rarely far from a power source. Not the lightest of machines (understatement) esp if you consider the mains adaptor is like half a brick.
Needed to call Gericom 'helpline' (nothing serious, my fault RTFM!!) and they were amazingly helpful. Presume the call is to Germany (but somehow is charged local rate) by the accent of the guy who responded INSTANTLY. Very pleasant guy. Did not call me a twit (which I deserved) and we even had a small chat about whether I 'liked the machine etc etc". Makes a change.
