£400 gets you a decent spec laptop that'll be more powerful than the Medion was.

I bought a decent used laptop in July, Compaq Evo N610c . It's a great little machine, but I am much happier using a full size keyboard!

The monitor I have is fine aliEnRIK, (fingers crossed) Good size decent spec.

Nope. But the muppets will take copies of anything 'interesting' off the disk.

Now that response begs the question what "they" would class as "interesting"?

Hopefully I have nothing on there to be concerned about, having said that, my daughter has used it:D

OMG!!! Ive just remembered, all those references to "well worn shoes":j

That will give them something to do while they are reparing my machine.

Passwords, photos, vids, text files, documents, anything at all that may 'amuse' them or find 'illegal' interest in!

MMM, no naked pics, or anything of that ilk, best I change my MSE password tho.

Guess I'll just have to wait and see what raises it's ugly head!, but at least if it does, I'll have a darn good idea where it's from.

You folks keep a good look out for 'illegal' recommendations for Greek Island Holidays:beer:

Update to the sorry saga.

They've writen the PC off and sent vouchers, unfortunately to my previous address.

Grrrrrrr.

Well maybe they mean that financially it is no longer viable to repair it..

I took in a working PC with a noisy fan!!!!

They have replaced fan, motherboard, CPU x 2!!! , taken it into their workshop because it wouldn't work, returned it to PC World and it still doesn't work.

Hence I think they want to get me off their back.

Three weeks and counting.

They're obviously imbeciles. A noisy fan should take 10 minutes to swap.

:money:

A little late in the day, but just to follow up on the PC that was wriiten off.

Nine weeks from taking my noisy Pc in for repair, and six weeks after it had been "written off"! After throwing a wobbly in the store, well getting very cross, I eventually came away with this...

which aliEnRIK suggested would be suitable for my needs.

It is, and I'm grateful for the input, but guess what!

It's noisy:eek:
