Highly Recommended!

Laptop arrived in very good time after order, professionally packaged so that no damage or mishandling by courier could happen. Was kept up to date with tracking. Had one question for mycheaplaptop and they answered promptly. Laptop is great, exactly as described and working perfectly. All in all, a 6* experience with this transaction, will definitely use again. Thanks.

Our organisation has brought 4 laptops at different times from this company. Very satisfied. The one we were disappointed in, replaced promptly we had to pay postage but gave us discount of the next one. We will continue to use them and would recommend. Laptops are as described and like the function you can custom make them to your requirements.

Swift despatch

Swift despatch. 1st laptop failed. quickly recieved a new conditioned one. However that one keeps telling me it's got errors and a corrupted microsoft. I also got glimpses of previous owner's settings. Uninstalled and reinstalled microsoft to no avail. So yes, swift service but laptops not totally cleaned and I feel uncomfortable. Will purchase a new and not a reconditioned. Sorry

Great choice and delivered quickly

Great choice and delivered quickly. Really happy with my laptop. Make sure you note the battery guarantee, because my battery is pretty rubbish, but no surprises. I got what I paid for and it was a bargain.

Many thanks for your kind words and excellent review.

It is particularly pleasing to hear that you had a good experience overall even with an initial problem. Things can go wrong from time to time and we try our very best to put them right as swiftly as possible. Therefore it is very nice to read that although you had a problem, our service seems to have outweighed that issue.

We hope that your initial issue has not put you off from buying and look forward to hearing from you again in the future

The laptop failed to restart after an update. I believe was an issue with the windows 11 upgrade that was performed. I had to wipe the hard drive and remove all portions before I could use a windows 11 boot drive to reinstall the software. An uninformed user would have been left with an unusable laptop.

Solid Performing Laptop

We ordered this Dell i7 Laptop to be delivered to our UK home, but then had it posted to our French home - this Laptop is proving to be extremely rugged, reliable and pretty quick too.
We've bought before from this company and have never been dissatisfied with the professional service and speedy delivery.

£1000 business HP Laptop for £379

Excellent experience all round. Website gave me all the information I needed to compare - I was looking for a business laptop and to maximise memory, storage and processor power for my price point - and gave me confidence to proceed. Email communications were prompt and reassuring and the laptop was delivered very quickly. Very pleased with the laptop it worked perfectly. It's cosmetic condition is very good with only a few small marks on the exterior - I don't mind at all - and the battery (my biggest concern) held it's charge all day - great! One slight niggle was although the laptop was very well protected in a bubble envelope in the parcel, there wasn't enough additional packaging to stop it moving up and down in the cardboard box - this didn't matter though.

Overall I got a £1000 business HP Laptop for £379 - great deal and service.
