Small correction, Starcom actually gives you the bag free if you buy that particular model, but some other models don't come with a bag.

@Mark, I bought this model: HP Compaq 610 Intel Core 2 Duo T5870, 2GB RAM, 320GB HDD, Bluetooth and a bag and no OS. http://www.chekelea.com/index.php?_a=viewProd&productId=157
Cost: KShs. 44,160

The only other online shop with the same make and model is this:
http://www.starcomss.co.ke/product.php?pid=2 and they offered to sell me a bag at 1k. Cost: KShs. 48,500

In addition, the nice lady there gave me a 4GB Sahara flashdisk, their customer care at the shop in westie is superb; the really nice saleslady there gave me coffee, treated me real well. Based on the customer care alone, I will be referring my pals there.

I will be writing a review of that laptop real soon.
