studentdave, when I put it in my basket it comes to £62.66 inc VAT and shipping. Did you use a discount code or have I missed something?

Nowp theres no discount codes, I just forgot to mention the P&P.

Use the link provided by the message above from 'eueta', its the same product slightly cheaper (well worth the money)

Hi After considerable deliberation I decided to buy this today instead of a Dell. Very pleased with the quality of the build - feels better than my Fujitsu which cost just under £1000. Now need to get the extra memory to make it faster. Thanks to OP.

1. Check volume control and wave volumes in the audio setting in corner of screen are on full

2. Check that the volume on your media player is on full too

If the volume continues to stay low, I suggest you buy some speakers.

You'll find sum decent ones on ebay at a good price too

much better than an old celeron processor anyday
I'm in the business and it is by far better than any £399-00

A couple of points.

1: Its an acer
2: Semperons run hot that is why you don't see many laptops with them
3: It's an acer.

This is such a dumb question I know but how do you use the letters on the right hand side of the keyboard (eg how do I get an "L" instead of the number "3")? It is driving me nuts................

Hi,

You must have the numlock button pressed on. To turn this off hold the shift key and press the key marked NumLk (ScrLk below) on the top row of the keyboard.

Cheers
