    In the last week, the prices on Dell Outlet seem to have increased, I'm sure the like for like models I'm looking at (the 2013 model Inspiron 7737) has gone up over £100 before VAT & delivery. Anyone else found that?

    Yes, I've noticed. I'm actually quite mad at myself - I bought an XPS 15 9530 (top tier model with 512GB SSD) from the outlet in November for under £900. It was scratch and dent but only had a tiny mark on the base of the machine. Anyway, after a couple of days, I got a whole load of BSOD so Dell came and replaced the mobo and did a reload of Windows 8. Great, I thought! Then I had further issues with the screen going black. Anyway, Dell told me the screen would need to be replaced but they had no stock and so they recommended me to return it for a full refund. I thought fine, I'll get another one. Anyway, I haven't seen the same model I purchased for under £1100 since and now I really need one as my other laptop has died an early death.
    Also noticed that there's loads of Alienware's. A friend of mine recently mentioned he noticed they had the same one he bought in November 2013 for 1065 is now over 1300! So absolutely not sure what they're up to but I really hope they're price comes back in line with what they were only a few months ago. Hope you can find something at a reasonable price (check around 3pm when they update the inventory Mon - Fri).
