    Excellent ...no issues at all.

    Got my pram, laptop, ipod and all the clothing I wanted...

    Logged on about 6:50 and all completed by 7:00 before the slow down...

    I thought after last year I would be throwing my rattle out my pram..:rolleyes:

    i called the next vip line on 0844 844 8753 and she passed me through to someone to take my order on the phone.

    The easiest time was at 10 to 7 when I did my first order. Why oh why did I order all my husband's and friend's stuff and leave mine til the next order?!?!

    Mrs T this is a netbook and therefore you can't burn dvds as it has no inbuilt dvd drive. Won't have word processing either as these are extra applications that all laptops/netbooks need to be added.

    This one has a 12 inch screen which is the biggest screen a netbook has at the moment, most are 10 inch.

    You don't buy this machine if you want to use it as your main laptop/computer it's for carrying around and using from A-B *weighs 1.5Kg* instead of a heavier laptop.

    Hope this helps. It has very good reviews but please don't buy it on my say so.
    thanks for the low down :D I didnt think it would have the dvd burner oh well. My mum and dad just browse the internet so they will take it as I have theirs at the moment.

    thanks again

    In at 6.50, out by 7.10, most things in stock.

    I suppose next time it will be slow from 6.50 though as people will check earlier.

    Thanks for advising it was open early
