I totally agree. Laptops have an unjustified premium price wise, 
especially second hand ones.

I would suggest one shop (although I don't know if they're really any 
good or not) who I drive past every morning near spagetti, just off the 
A38... (un)fortunately I can't remember their name.

There's always ebay of course
