Buying a laptop and deferred payments?

[Heather1957]

As I have to pay for 2 holidays to Florida this year and I'm going on the Lions tour to South Africa next year (mega big bucks :confused2)
I'm a little strapped for cash!!

I would like to buy a lap top as a back up to the one I currently have as I'm getting more concerned that it will pack up (it's 3 years old now)

Does anyone know where I could get another lap top and not have to pay for it for at least 6 months.

Am I looking for the impossible.

It may be worth keeping an eye on curry's as well, we got a laptop that was quite a good price, which we put on their 6 months interest free. You basically pay off half of the balance in the six month period by monthly DD, then you just need to call them up and pay the rest off before you go over the six month mark, if you don't do this I think you are then tied into continuing the monthly payments with a huge amount of interest added on top. We've done this for a T.V and the laptop and as long as you pay it off before the deadline it's great.

Thanks all I bought another Dell one last night. In some ways it was a bit rushed and I ended up spending more than I wanted too especially as I only wanted a back up computer. I think this one will become my back up computer and the new one my main one.

I'm not looking forward to using Windows Vista as I've heard so many negative things about it - I just hope all the packages I currently have work properly on it especially my Microsoft Office as I need it for my work!!

Thanks again for your suggestions.
