    Do you get the same warranty on items and same returns policy?

    Also do you know how to tell what the processor codes are? They are things like ICR2-2000 Is that an intel C2D 2.0Ghz??

    Is the quality of items from the site decent? I can save about £200 - £250 off the price of a new laptop if I buy Outlet going by current prices (I know this stuff goes quickly though).


    Just don't want to be stuck without warranty etc. Also whats the changes of cosmetic damage to the casing? Is this usually rare?

    Dunno much about UK, but if I recall correctly the return policy is a shorter period I believe, something like 10 days as opposed to the 21 you get in the US.

    I think you can now choose your warranty on Outlet notebooks on the way to the checkout. Put one in your basket and head to the checkout. That way you will also see the bottom line cost.
