you might be better posting the specs rather than the link.

Not all Lidl's will be selling them. I've just followed you link but it asks for my postcode and then lists whats selling in my local store, there aren't any laptops listed.

I would be careful of dealing with Lidl with something of that value. They have a very bad name when it comes to defective goods or items that break down after a while.

My daughter had trouble with them with an £18.99 defective keyboard, they just flatly refused to give a refund - they only gave in after I got Trading Standards involved and complained to Head Office.

I only buy food and low value items from Lidl now !

That laptop is terrible value. You could get a cheap core 2 duo for a little more than that. Much better performance, and you could get it from a better retailer like currys or PC world.

if you're not desperate for them this christmas, wait 2 weeks or so and they may go down in price for the january sales, i'm sure you could get some discount codes too.

If you can get some discount codes, i'd definitely recommend the pc world one, all the rest lack DVD-burners
