    Hey Tim,

    Cheap processor, small hard drive and integrated graphics card - it's alright but there have been better deals on the forum for a slight bit more ££! :)
  • Not a good deal, to be honest. You could have picked up a better specced lappy from boffer yesterday for £12 more.

    Normally a good idea to bin any email from a company you've never heard of...
  • Tim, if your username is anything to go by, you work in IT. If that's the case, you'd know that wasn't a good deal.

    Vista on 1 GB of ram? Lots of hair will be lost there. Lol. Considering the deals available nowadays, the processor just seems out of place - not to mention the pathetic HDD. Not really worth the money imho.
