while we are all sharing our experiences, i cant fault "positiveit" at all they sent out nextday (well would have been only i ordered last thing sat night so they wouldnt got it till monday morn i recived 11am tues morn) i used their support line and i will get 2 years instead of 1yr internet (i think this has finished now) so i think these were great also. although i think i was 1 of the first to get ours (2nd feb) so i think as more orders are taken lots will slow down a bit, cant speak for their service now as it was a month ago when i used them, but it was first rate when we got ours

It was less than a week but seems to be taking longer now - I guess more claims are going through as people hear about it.

My daughter's laptop arrived yesterday at 4pm, set up by 5pm, half an hour later daughter trips and pours half a pint of cola over the keyboard!! She is devastated to say the least and i've finally stopped swearing...

So although it will power up, some of the keys wont type but others will - have tried drying it with a hairdryer etc to no avail. A replacement keyboard would be about £25 but cannot find how to change keyboard of the r519 as it doesnt have the usual access at top of keyboard. Any ideas please?

The website still shows the printer and memory stick as freebie

Sister ordered her laptop from xma on friday, received it today. Helped her to set it up. Was taking ages to download updates through T-mobile dongle so i bought it home and used my Virgin wireless which speed up things.

Are these mobile dongles slow in downloading etc?

T-mobile say my area will not receive a signal yet it works.

One thing i noticed is that the T-mobile dongle is set up to stop any over 18 websites, youtube, facebook etc from downloading. You have to input your credit card to prove you are over 18 or pop into T-mobile shop to remove the restriction from the T-mobile dongle/broadband.


Those who got their package from XMA was the seal on the laptop box broken?

Yes, mine was and did think it odd at the time.

Maybe they are open due to the net intelligence put on?
I'll reply back when they finally sort our grant out.
