LXDirect T&C's say:

"3.2 Whilst it is our intention to keep our website up to date and error free, product description or pricing errors may occur. If we discover such an error after you have submitted an order to us, we will contact you prior to accepting your order with the correct details. You may then either cancel your order or re-confirm it based on the correct information. If we are unable to contact you, we will treat your order as cancelled."

Would be good if this does go un-noticed as much of the website is probably automated, but too many orders may rasie too much suspicion.

Good luck to all that succeed

Did you upgrade the ram? If not, you'll find it will make a world of difference. Also, with some laptops, it's better to wipe off all the preinstalled crap that comes with them and do a fresh install of the OS.

Then you find out that you deleted the hidden partition and now have a technological brick.

The wiping of hard drives is something best described on a case-by-case basis and not in sweeping statements. You could end up deleting the essential bits and have to send it back to the manufacturer for re-imaging.

I went into track my order and it says 'there are currently no orders to view'

All i got was a registration confirmation aswell, not even an order conf

I bought this same laptop from pcworld in november but with 1 gig of ram for 499, the minimum requirement for vista is 1 gig so will be interesting to see how it runs if these arrive!

I believe deleting the hidden partition is exactly what some people intend to do, to reclaim the 5gb or so that is stolen by the manufacturer (yes albeit at the risk of more hassle if something breaks)
