It has to go to EIRE not Northern Ireland so it's not part of UK but classed as Europe. Can be done in £25 though (boxed up machine weighs 5kg according to Dell but it's more like 4kg if you ask me).

The original box alone weighs 1.5Kg

The laptop weighs 3Kg

Add the power supply and discs, manuals, you get 5Kg total.

It must be antivirus software that is doing that, Norton/Mcaffee/etc?

If so, just turn real time scanning off from system tray.

I'm all bought up.....paid the £350.75 including the upgaded battery.
Got the extra RAM from lowestonweb, and my wireless router from there too.
I shall remove all the Dell guff when I get it and Bobs yer uncle.....lets see if all arrives!!
Thanks to all who helped.

Managed to save the file and downloaded the PDF thing ... it is just setting up ... this PC is very old and slow .... but it is reliable ... had it over 10 years ... all the others were faster/flasher but burnt out LOL

Estimated delivery date is 24/04 ..... should I expect it on that day or after? Or before that date? I probably won't even be home!

Says 24/04 on my order too but some people say theyve got it within 6 days of ordering so I'm hoping its gonna come early
