Opinions on this laptop

Hey everyone

I'm hunting for a new laptop and am considering getting this one

http://www.factorydirect.ca/catalog/product_spec.php?pcode=IB2311

as I'm on holiday in Canada at the moment. It works out about £140 which is roughly what I want to spend.

Just wondering what those of you more experienced than me thought of this, for the price?

Many thanks

    looks good, you would struggle to get a laptop in the uk that cheap. i think you wouldnt even get one on ebay for that cheap. just ensure that the power adapter will work in the uk.
  • refurbished?

    which is politically correct speak for second hand.

    90 day warranty?

    Probably been dropped and had coffee spilt over it.

    Any advice that you receive from me is worth exactly what you paid for it. Not a penny more or a penny less.
