I see you're in KZN, try www.zones.co.za, branch in Ballito.

Got some good specials, but stocks are running out.

This is not for me, I'm asking for someone from Howick. So if there is anyhting from the likes of Makro, Game etc or even Esquire (they go to durbs on the odd occasion and I have an account).
 
They also have a branch in Pinetown, which could work. If you get the brochure, I don't mind helping out if you need. Can collect and hold for them.

Just concerned for that price, you're getting an old chipset. Not cool. They have an LG for R4999

Core i5-2410M 2.3GHz
4GB DDR3 1333
500GB SATA HDD
DVD WRITER
WIFI B/G/N
Gigabit LAN
6 in 1 Card Reader
Webcam
HDMI
Intel HD Graphics 3000
15.6"
Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit

They had stock of that as of 4 o'clock this afternoon.
 
How reliable is LG (never seen one), do they offer a 3yr extended warranty and how does warranties work wrt laptops purchased from pc zone as I would hate for them having to ever deal with pc zones post sales.
 
Very few manufacturers offer 3 years in any way, and if they do it is expensive. The physical build quality is not necessarily ultra-rugged, but I know a few people who have one, and theirs have lasted a good few years. And you deal with the manufacturers directly when it comes to laptop warranties. They'll give you contact details for LG. LG is local. (Westville I think)

Not saying you have to deal with them. Just saying you can't easily beat their prices.

I've had a LG for a bit less than a year; it's rock solid and it came with a 3 year warranty, so it must be possible to get one. I have to say that the build quality is really good and it has one of the best keyboards that I've encountered.

I'm not sure that a R5k laptop would be made to the same standard, but my overall impression is very good.
