Bit of a strange one this. The words say " you may receive a higher spec model than stated" which is great if you get better than an i3-370M but the problem is this model number, by default, comes with a really slow AMD E-300 APU with Radeon HD Graphics.

Caution is advised.

It is indeed strange. Look at the Argos Q&As on it. After initially confirming the i3 processor, they then say:

I do apologize about the confusion. Having spoken to the manufacturers I can confirm that the Toshiba C660D-1CV 500GB 3GB 15.6 Inch Laptop is an AMD E-300 processer.

I have to agree that there is something strange here.
Toshiba`s own site gives the specs as:

Processor type : AMD Dual-Core Processor E-300 APU with AMD Radeon™ HD 6310 Graphics
clock speed : 1.3 GHz
2nd level cache : 1 MB

Maybe when they say " you may receive a higher spec model than stated", that`s the i3.

Queer. :rotfl:

In Argos`s own Q&A they seem to contradict themselves:
