Rock Direct go into Administration.

[VladD]

Ordered a laptop from Rock Direct two weeks ago and now they've gone into admninistation. At least the hadn't taken any money out and hopefully won't.

I only ordered from them because Alienware lost the laptop I ordered from them and were messing about and not sending me a replacement.

Could anyone be more unlucky? Think I'll play safe and go to PC World so that at least I've got the thing in my hands when I pay.

No not really. Looks like I'll have to start researching again. Any suggestions from here?

[VladD]

No, Mac not an option, purely cause I can't be arsed.

Dell do some sturdy laptops and offer good value. Customer service was excellent when i had an issue and I don't think they will end up bankrupt soon.

Dell XPS it is.

They do, but I'm hoping Dell will be shipping from this country rather than Ireland.

Looks like I'll just have to pray that the "third time lucky" mantra holds true then.
