So...it's powerful enough (am I right?), but would it burn HD discs, please? I'm a bit worried about "all the usual formats". Thank you, everyone.

It will burn DVDs which can hold HD content but not Bluray discs which will be needed for longer content.

You can buy a bluray writer for about £150

That's great. Thank you to everyone for your help!

I think that looks excellent.
Currently using a Medion laptop. Spec is all I need and more, have had not one moments problem with it, and the price was about £100 to £150 less than the same spec in other makes.
I'm looking for a replacement PC now so thanks for the post, I will defo be going for this.

Update: have now bought PC

Build quality is VERY poor-so poor I'm frightened to let my 12 year old near the CD drawer-and MS office is only a 60 day trial. I could have seen that before if I'd looked a little harder, of course. But it's not made obvious and I'm a bit annoyed.

Help is via a local rate number, and answered quickly.

Hope that helps!

You won't get a full version of MS Office with any new PC, unless you pay at least a couple of hundred pounds more!
