It's a refurb but in my experience the customer service from Maplin has been excellent.

Good reviews too.

Word of advice, Just looked at review, Resolution of screen is low so expect to scroll all over the place and hardly any storage so you would need to use an sd card - asda aspire one at 150 notes a no brainer vs this imo.

I was tempted too but have just read some reviews...

I Bought this for my daughter at christmas along with the 3 pay as you go internet dongle.

Well what a disappointment, it doesn't accept the dongles apparently the Linux system can't operate with it..so it got returned to lx direct and i am still waiting for it to be credited back to my account nearly a month later :mad:

That one is a slightly different one to the one you got and the store should have told you there is an update from the website and drivers for the 3 dongle. I updated around 4 in store and got a dongle to work on it fine.

As has been said already, the £150 Acer Aspire ONE really is the way to go, infinitely better, i've got both.
