    Excellent deal, except for anyone into gaming. It has integrated graphics which are not as good as a separate graphics card. However for email, internet and word processing it's great!

    But it costs £500. Surely a nice second hand laptop from Bigpockets or whatever costing £150 would be also great for email, internet and word processing? What extra do you get for the additional £350 this kit will set you back? I mean, it's not as if the people selling this have a good reputation for service or quality?
