My insurance company is replacing my laptop which was accidently damaged.
They have given me a choice of a Toshiba L300-148 which can be found here: http://www.marksandspencer.com/gp/product/B001AS3EJA?mnSBrand=core
Or vouchers for something like PC world, to the value of £450.

The Toshiba is a good make, 2.6ghz dual core, 160gb hard disk, 2gb ram, vista, wifi.

Would anyone have any better suggestions from pc world?

Not sure you'd get something of the same spec of PC World as they tend to come up expensive.

Can you not get vouchers for an online retailers such as Dabs or eBuyer?

the thing is the original laptop is only worth about £400 to begin with, so im on a winner to begin with.

Perhaps i shouldnt be so greedy?
