Laptops have dropped considerably in price and are better value than ever. Nor moralising just advising, have often bought without asking questions and the current economy lends itself to that.Quote:

the fact that a part of you will witness you enjoying
another's laptop, whilst knowing there is another person
abruptly without one is the seed of a karmic event.
if i were you, i would dress up and sit somewhere enjoying one,
perhaps a second strawberry milkshake. think things through! -
12-06-11, 11:25FitzyNo I wouldn't take the chance if there was no one buying stolen goods there wouldnt be any little scumbags around and we would be living in a better society do your self a favour for two hundred euros extra you get a nice new out of the box laptop oh and don't forget piece of mind you get from buying from a shop.Quote:

You don't know what lurks in the depths of a stolen computer. I'd be very very careful there. Once it's yours it's yours. You could be held responsible for it's content. And remember, they say you cannot completely clean a computer. Food for thought! I'd spend the extra couple of pennies and get a new one.

I know Tesco has some good deals on laptops.I bought a laptop for 399eures down from 499eures about 6 months ago and about a month ago my local tesco had one for 349eures,so try your local tesco and see what deals they have.

My work laptop has this on it.
DellTM* ProSupport Laptop Tracking & Recovery
Dell ProSupport Laptop Tracking and Recovery Service helps protect data by enabling customers to track mobile systems in the event their system is lost or stolen, partnering with local law enforcement to attempt recovery.
HOW IT WORKS
Computer will ship with the Laptop Tracking and Recovery software agent and a persistence module embedded in the BIOS. The software agent can survive operating system re-installations, hard drive reformats and even hard drive replacements.
When a lost or stolen computer connects to the Internet, the software agent contacts the monitoring center to report the computer’s location.
For systems with GPS technology included, Laptop Tracking and Recovery has the ability to capture and report more detailed location information. It also provides the ability to track your laptops as they change hands or move around the organization. -
