I have reserved the above laptop after much searching, comparing, finding stuff out of stock :mad: etc etc. This seems like it's a good mid range computer and the price seems comparibly favourable. I will use it for surfing tinternet, downloading digital images (for craft purposes) and some work stuff too. i'd have liked a laptop which is described as having great sound but hey, beggars can't be choosers eh!

Any thoughts on it anyone? any better suggestions?

quite impressed if a little slow to initially load opera
got used to the mouse too something that normally bugs me
also took macefities motor car off and put avast on it

Thanks both. There are actually so many seemingly 'variations' of the same laptop it was quite confusing to research them! I think it's a good deal and think I needed another opinion because I doubt myself and my own judgement! Just wanted to check I hadn't missed something glaringly obvious!
Thanks again.

You are right about the variations: I bought a similar HP Pavilion G6 model with less RAM and hard drive, but with an Intel i3 processor. I heard that AMD are a bit slow.

Well I got it today! It is great so far, dead simple to set up and downloading something was so quick I didn't believe it had worked!!! No more frustration! Hooray

Oh, and Aroon from Currys was great. :beer:
