    You need to register it first, then you get a code in the support area of it to un-install it.

    I had a look at the samsung R159, that looks the most appealing. They are charging double the normal price for the samsung netbook!
    something missing

    Hi, for those of you still deciding, you may want to hold on a few days as Micro P have a new package "coming soon" on their website. I spoke to a guy from there and though he wasn't 100% certain of the details he could confirm that it would be a Dell (i'm unclear if it's a desktop or notebook).
    He said they were waiting for full authorisation from Becta etc but should be up all cleared by end of the month.

    hi, i have my card for the full home access package but can't decide which one to get. I am torn between the samsung r519 and the toshiba satelite pro.
    I've seen alot of people are opting for the samsung but wondered if thier decision would have been the same if there was not a free 2 GB option on it.
    I've read that dual core processors are best (samsung) but amd (toshiba) run better, longer battery life etc. My son is 9 but really likes playing farmville on facebook, can anyone help me decide, i have had my card nearly 2 weeks, thank you in advance

    We got a R519 and use stat bar it tells use the pc useage of RAM amongst other things available.
    Right now it is using 620 out of 2010 so 1gb imho, when you might have more applications open, is not enough.
    It is also dual core but the Toshiba as HDMI output.

    hi, has anyone had a laptop with an orange dongle? There coverage comes up as being really good but no-one has mentioned getting it. Is it because you all know something i don't about them or have orange not been on the home access scheme for long? pls help, thanks
