    If something seems to good to be true, it usually is. There are quite a few sites on the net that advertise things at a ridiculous level below their competitors just to get you on the site and try to get your order. THen after you place the order they take your money, stall and stall, after a few months they'll cancel the order having had a tidy sum off your interest.

    Here is an example of one such company

    If you are going to buy a laptop, don't get it off the cheapest. Get it from someone reliable and trustworthy. Too many cowboys out there.

    cheers m8, that's what i am worrying about, as you said, the outrageous low price has already reflected its low credibility. thanks for the web quote site, will be very useful.
