Before Christmas my dad ordered me a laptop from the Internet, my mum recommended the website to him because everything on there was a lot cheaper than in the shops. In fact my mum went around recommending this website to half of Liverpool! The website is

http://www.electroniccity.co.uk

Basically the company doesnt exist and trading standards are investigating them but the website is still taking offers and money from people although apparently PayPal are no longer associated with the site. Just a warning incase anyone comes across the site and is slightly tempted by the cheap prices.

It must of been taken off the site, but he wrote to them at the same address that you have given and apparently theres nothing but an empty warehouse or abandoned building of some description there.

Try this site:
http://www.notebooksbilliger.de/
so far I haven't heard anything bad about them, but then again, I can't say I could endorse them either. For students go to the students secion on that web-site:

I don't see many better deals than what they have there. Last Nov. they had a HP NB (new) for around 400? (?) it came sans M$, (FreeDOS installed) for a Linux install. (even said so :D ) -d
edited to add: I hope your Dad does get his money back. -d
