6 Answers
Hi everyone i have no one to help me with my purchase and am getting really frustrated.
I am buying a laptop from my catalogue i have chosen the one i like. But it doesnt say the model number so i can read reveiws and that.
It's from littlewoodsdirect.
I've rung them and they dont have the model either only the specs.
I've tried ringing hewlett packard and they're closed for the weekend and i really need to sort this out today.
Here is the link

its on littlewoodsdirect website. It's the Hewlett Packard one for �499
Can anyone tell me if this is a good laptop to buy? Can any of you computer whizz's find out the model?
I dont want a fantastic laptop just want it for surfing the net and uni work ... i have �500 budget but need to get it from here so i can pay off in 6 payments.
Please please can someone help me.

plowter is nearly right, I think it is a HP DV6000. You can see this if you enlarge the picture.
I have searched the web and I think the exact model is the DV6317 as the specs for this match what littlewoods say.
Here it is on the HP site

HP are a good make but you are probably paying maybe �100 over the top as it is from a catalog. It is a discontinued model but this is not unusual because laptops are replaced by new models every six months or so.
Here is a similar model from staples at �374 so if you bought that you would save over �100 and notice almost no difference.

If you would prefer to buy from the catalog then I think the HP from them is fine (if a little overpriced), the only problem is if it goes wrong getting it back to Littlewoods.
If you buy it from a Staples shop and it goes wrong you can take it straight back there.

http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/132349/ is the same price as the catalogue but double the RAM and is an Intel Core 2 Duo :)
