urgh, an expensive Atom powered netbook with the 2bit "starter" edition of windows. why do you constantly spam links to that company nobody has ever heard of and the overpriced outdated tripe it sells? do you work for them?

I think that it's clear there is some connection... I have pointed it out on a couple of other occasions, to no reply. I'm sure there will be no response again this time. They are just trying it on.

How about this one at Currys:

http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/dell-inspiron-1545-black-c900-04127285-pdt.html

£359 (reduced from £480) but you can get 5% discount by using SPRING5 at the checkout taking it down to £341.05. I think the discount expires on 14 April.

To clarify i think Donnie is referring to the underpowered Celeron 900 processor that Curry's machine offers for not much less money than you could get a current i3 generation processor for........

I had this pop into my inbox this morning - might be of interest -

I like the way your daughter lists studying at the bottom of the list of things she wants to do on there! If she is genuinely intending to use it for study then I would recommend staying away from Netbooks, the screen size is just to small to use for any length of time and makes it difficult for typing, spreadsheets etc.

They are the 2nd largest IT reseller in the UK and Sony Vaio's were proven to be the most reliable out of all the laptops from Which Magazine with a 92% rating.

No I don't work for them, why don't you and Donnie start your're own separate forum just to criticise people who are tying to help, seems like thats all you both care about.
