  • Well it's not the highest spec but for the price I think it's a good deal. And more than capable of meeting your needs. I bought the same machine for my mother in law when it was £299 and she's more than happy with it. And don't worry about using ebuyer outlet, I've used it several times and had no problems.

    Go for it, its a good price for the spec (personally Id prefer more RAM, say 4GB as the video will probably use some).

    I stopped selling that class of Asus laptop. Slow, cheaply built and felt flimsy as well.
