    You don't have to justify yourself. You just have to justify why this is such a good deal. Because I really don't think it is at all. Misleading other readers into thinking it's a cracking deal just because you think it is, is just plain irresponsible, so I feel compelled to contribute to this thread (whether you think it is rude or not) and let potential buyers make their own informed decision.

    I'm sure I don't need to remind people that this whole site is dedicated to money saving.


    show me where the OP is misleading other users?

    OP posted the deal and like ALL deals that are posted its upto the user to look into the deal.

    And like all deals users give there feedback like yourself and thats whats great about MSE but dont have a go at the OP like i said its up to the user to make there mind up about the deal
    If you dont like me remember its mind over matter, I dont mind and you dont matter ;)

    ;) Thank you xxxx
    Just sometimes on this website you feel like you have to justify yourself, as some people do tend to critisize, or are just rude, lol

    To be fair, your original post doesn't actually say you had bought one; and I for one assumed you were seeking advice.

    However if you suggest something is good value, then you must expect people to be able to comment on your opinion, and not refrain from advising other readers just to prevent hurting your feelings.

    well it was/is a grabbit as at the time i purchased one myself there were only a few left
    I'm by no means having a pop at your character Becky81. I'm simply pointing out that this deal isn't for everyone. So please don't take what I've said to heart.

    Yes, I acknowledge that you were after a netbook for a while, and you're happy with your purchase. Excellent, I couldn't be happier for you!

    But a lot of people reading this thread who are in a similar position to yourself, but with other circumstances such as having no children, or requiring something with a little more in the spec department, would most definitely benefit from looking at other alternatives.

    1. As far as me misleading others, what info was i misleading? The price, the make or model, the colour, the link???!!!!

    2. It was a grabbit as at the time i purchased one myself there were only a few left.

    3. I never said it was a "cracking deal" i thought it was a good price for those of us that cant buy a exspensive pc/netbooks ect, and this is a "money saving site"!

    4. I have never stopped people from making there own "informed decisions" I added all info, and links on here so any "potential buyers COULD make there "own informed decisions"

    5. And just to let every1 know, im not gonna bother posting anymore on this site. Im fed up with sharp coments from people

    By clicking on the link i have provided, they will see what the spec is and look alse where if its not for them. By posting this thread dosnt mean they have to buy it.
    Can someone please tell me how i remove this thread. Im done justifying myself.

    Yes and your point is?


    Op posted the deal its upto users to look at it and make up there mind and other users will help like yourself but having a go at the OP is wrong.

    I was not having a go at the OP. In fact, have a look at the first post I posted. I was commending her. So shove your accusations where the sun don't shine mate!

    Becky81, don't give in to the fools on here, you quitting will only mean they've won! I'm sure some people that comment negatively on everything get some sort of odd kick out of it! I post mainly over at HUKD and I too suffer the mindless, rude, can't say anything nice so I'll tear a strip off someone else for no reason people. The best thing to do is walk away from this thread if it is upsetting you, don't comment, and don't read it, I've had to refrain from swearing a lot on these types of forums but bit my tongue to save a ban these people are not worth it.

    I believe it is a decent price for all the right reasons as you've stated, fair enough everyone is entitled to their opinion but not to the extent where they are just plain spoiling for an argument to get a rise out of people.

    Anyway, keep posting Becky81! Don't let them grind you down!
