BARGAIN

Edit to Add --- £10 extra gets you one month's pay as you go (PAYG) mobile broadband including 1 gigabyte (GB) (1000 emails worth) of data allowance.

You don't need to worry about set up. We send you a little device (dongle) which plugs straight into your computer and works straight away.

It's risk free and gives you time to breathe before you make any big decisions about other internet connection contracts.

Does internet ready mean Wifi or will need a cable?

this hardly qualifies as a Grabbit as it's a regular offer with no time or stock limitations. Grabbit is supposed to be for "short term deals" only. Will ask a mod to move to a more suitable board.

You can upgrade to 12 months and next day collection for £25.

In the basket it comes up with the specs but it is only a refurb one. I checked both options of discounted and 'full price' and both are refurbs.

Refurbished computer with flatscreen monitor

• Full colour 15" flat panel monitor
• P4 2GHz Processor
• 1GB Memory
• 40GB Hard Drive
• CD Drive
• USB Ports
• Wired Keyboard & Mouse
• Windows 7 Pro
• Microsoft Office 2007 Basic (word processor, spreadsheets etc)
• Microsoft Security Essentials (keeps you safe online)
• A great collection of Accessibility software

these are refurbished PCs with a rubbish warranty and a pretty poor spec TBH so in my opinion the price of £165 is just a little on the 'you're havin' a laugh' side!

Looking at the description of the advert "A powerful, refurbished computer" but really "P4 2 GHz processor,1 Gb RAM, 40 Gb Hard drive" looking at the spec not really a powerful computer with very memory hungry & processor hungry web pages You will struggle to open a lot of web pages on that & then try to open the latest office will take an age. For an extra £150 you could buy a very good cheap dell with 12 months warranty. Not knocking but dont be fooled by the "powerful, refurbished computer" as I work in IT & know a little bit more than average person & only trying to help.

There are much better systems to buy for a lot less.

Example: P4 3GHz systems are available around the £120=00 mark.

Try 'refurbished computers' on amazon or ebay.

Not a good offer
Specs are very low

Thankyou rebeccaj, when I was told of this offer I was also told to be quick about it as it was on a first come first served basis. I never realised it was long term or I'd have never posted it in Grabbits
