    There is one for sale on ebay here

    Check the Q+A at the bottom. Someone has told them to stop selling it (is it ebay?) and they have said no
    No it's not eBay. It's a joker.

    Wouldn't be still there if ebay had any morals/clout about themselves.

    Sorry, where's the evidence that that item is one received under the Home Access scheme?

    TBh the chances are it is if it is 160GB as if you bought it yourself iirc they came with a 250GB Hard drive.

    hi

    am hoping someone can help. My daughter has received her positive it laptop, and we are well chuffed! Following previous posters' advice, i did a reboot (or something like that) so she can access her facebook account (yes, it is for social life, but she is also a member of various facebook homework groups). This worked for about a day, but now it is blocked again.

    Can anyone please advise what i should be doing? I thought it was something to do with net intelligence (??) but cant seem to find that. As you can probably tell, i am a complete techno phobe!

    many thanks

    I have a question regarding this, how do they pay you? Do they send you a laptop, or send you a check? If a check, is it limited to what it can be spent on?

    Please "quote" reply. Thanks!

    No they send you a pre loaded debit card to use.

    Hi, thanks, any ideas how much would be on the debit card? Is there a set ammount? Also, any ideas if we HAVE to spend it on a laptop? Or can I build my little brother a PC from PC world instead?

    Also, what stores is it allowed to be spent on? Any specific list? Thanks!
