[Gloucs] Laptop Suggestions

Hi Barbie,

We use ebuyer for most of our computer business needs - they have a huge 
range of laptops at very competitive prices and also show the advantage 
of user reviews against most products.

Remember to click the "show all laptops" button for the full range after 
the above link opens up - to the right of "Today's Top Deals" header.
