    So you paid £500?

    Yep. £499 for laptop, plus an extra £11.23 for the bag.

    The signs quote £100 off, then in smaller writing that it has been £549 since it was £599. PCW have a similar one for £499, but that one is Celeron rather than Pentium.

    Googling for 'FUJITSU V2040' brings back several variations in spec., but anything similar to the one I've bought is around £650.

    This one seems to be the same spec.:-

    settee and bed will work, but don't hold your hopes too high on using whatever you will get in the garden...laptop screens are incredibly bad outdoors

    I've just had a wander up the garden with the laptop. Fortunately I didn't go A. over T. on the ice. The signal strength bar was still on the highest at what was probably 25m away through double glazed patio doors and the monitor. Did a speed test which was perfect.

    Very happy with the machine. The only thing I don't like is the Odyssey wireless software that Fujitsu provide, which is a bit confusing as it seems to have too many options for some things, but other options missing.
    Nice to save.
