Think I've bagged a bargain...

1am Sunday morning I managed to order, from the refurbished section of a laptop dealers website, the following..

An A1 Grade ('as new') Toshiba A665-11Z

3D gaming power! The Satellite A665 is a feature-rich laptop designed for entertainment and 3D gaming with a 39.6cm (15.6”) TruBrite® display and premium textured finish with a tiled keyboard. Advanced NVIDIA GeForce 3D Vision software and glasses automatically transforms hundreds of PC games into full 3D for the ultimate gaming experience. Future support of 3D Blu-ray via driver download.
Screen size - 15.6" Toshiba TruBrite® HD 3D TFT High Brightness
Processor - Core i7-740QM Processor clock speed : 1.73 / 2.93 Turbo GHz
RAM - 4 GB
Hard Drive - 500 GB
Operating System - Microsoft Windows 7 home Premium 64 Bit
Optical Drive - Blu-Ray Player
Graphics - NVIDIA® GeForce® GTS 350M with CUDA™ technology 1GB Dedicated
Design /Chassis - Metallic Precious Black with glossy rim and textured pattern, black keyboard
Webcam - Integrated 1.3 Megapixels Web Camera with built-in microphone
Card Reader - Yes
HDMI Port - Yes
Warranty - 3 months warranty
Included accessories - NVIDIA® 3D Vision™ Kit incl. active shutter glasses, USB IR emitter, two USB cables (6’ and10’) and interchangeable nose pieces

Now the only dodgy bit is the 3-month warranty but I've basically managed to snag this for..

£349.97. And it's being delivered tomorrow. I really hope it's 'as new' and working correctly.

Just posting because i'm gobsmacked as I was looking at far worse specs at that budget, and it's mostly for gaming, web browsing and programming.

Not bad, 3 month warranty with an Nvidia chip would worry me but for the money it's good

Looks good for the money. I assume it's a 1366 x 768 screen which I dislike very much, but you won't do better for £350.

cheers,

Not sure about the 3 month warranty, thought your statutory rights (Sale of Goods Act) in the UK entitled you to a year whatever the situation or what the supplier says.

Damn, thats the sort of deal I dream of finding

Hope everything turns out good!

It's awesome

Basically brand new from what I can tell, 3D Vision is awesome, only played League of Legends so far but that runs maxed. Had a BSOD but don't think that was hardware based but I'll keep an eye on it.

Very pleased so far. Never lucky enough to find deals like this

that place is not far from me I bought a laptop for my wife from them a while back and collected it, good service it was too.

They have some good laptop bargains on there.

I bought that laptop when it was £1300, and went through five of them.

Rebought it when it was £900 and it's been pretty fantastic ever since, does everything brilliantly.

Congrats on the bargain!
