  • ok so im confused with some of the reviews on here.Is this a good deal as im currently looking to buy a laptop with decent specs so i might go for it, or is it worth waiting for something better?

    If you wait, there will always be something better. You have to decide when you want to buy and go for the best deal on the day.
    This may be a good deal for you but it depends on what you need to do with it.
    Can I help?

    I would say overall it offers good value for money, if you're not heavily into gaming (or intend to continue using your desktop PC for gaming)
    Thanks to all who post constructively.
