    My battery time is 2 and half hours.

    Mine is def. wireless built in.

    Although i must say - having looked at the woolworths link above - it does look different. Mine has a silver surround and the mouse touch pad thing looks a bit different.

    Mine also can with a free laptop bag for £399.

    Perhaps it is a different one.

    Sorry. Dave.

    No, VIA processor.

    The one on the Woolworths website uses the 1.5Ghz VIA C7-M CPU.

    If the advertised Medion does then I will stay well clear of it :D

    Think the one on the website is different anyway, photo in newspaper was certainly different.

    2.5 hours aint bad, would suit my needs well :D

    Do you know what the returns policy is in Woolworths, like if I decide im not happy with it? (Will they take it back even if theres nothing wrong)

    Not sure of woolworths return policy for laptops.

    But - i did manage to return a DVD there (unwanted Xmas gift). It was from HMV - they wouldn't take it back at all without receipt.

    Woolworths asked no questions!!!

    One of my machines uses a VIA chipset, isnt too bad (although the machine is really just a sandbox running Fedora Core 4, and cost me nothing) :D

    Would steer WELL clear of the processors though, unless we see the £150 laptop based on it :P

    Tried Woolworth in Kircaldy today, none in sight.

    Going to try the Stirling store soon and if they have none show them the copy of the advert and ask where I can get a look at them.


    Attached a scan of the ad from yesterday's Daily Record below.
