    I wonder how many people would choose this over a laptop? Pricewise.

    the idea is that its a portable media centre, much smaller than a laptop, ie 7 inch screen, looks very good, and with all the extra stuff you get with it, which i think you don,t get with it from pc world, dixon, curry,s amazon, the first three by the way are selling it for 549. so well spotted RDA, thats the idea of this site see a bargain and pass it on to others, the choice then becomes theirs, needless to say one on the way to me

    I wasn't discouraging the find .... was just curious about the product itself and the pricetag.
  • I wonder when the returns will start appearing in the QVC outlet shop in Warrington (at a greatly reduced price)? ;)

    no probs, didn't mean to sound ungrateful for the find myself. Just surprised at the tag because it is in affect a HD and Portable DVD player which separately but priced together would be nearer half the price.

    I guess its just what Apple did with ipods and I shouldn't be so surprised!

    :P and ebay!
  • When I read the write up on the 7" the picture quality is very poor which could explain the cheap price.

    arrived last week, very good, average on easy to use, great for compactness, but i must admit for the price i do wonder if i,d would of been a little more worthwhile spending a bit more and perhaps getting good quality laptop. but then the archos is more compact and easier to cart around
