Bargain or not??

Hi, saw this laptop on ebay deals page. Is it any good or can I do better for money? Any opinions gratefully received!

Thanks

  • That's a good price imo. This was one that I had in my Amazon wishlist and it was a toss up between it and the Samsung NP350V5C which, at the mo, cost £399 from Amazon. The Fujitsu costs £331.02 on Amazon (today). It all depends on what you want to use it for. Also the processor B960 is an older one and isn't as good as the i3, i5 processors.But for simple things - that's a really good price.
    :j I hope my comment helps :T
  • Thanks for your opinion. The laptop will be for my daughter (9 going on 49!) It's mainly so I can get my one without having to fight her for it. She uses it mostly for moshi monsters, club penguin and wizard 101 but sometimes watches you tube and bbc iplayer. At the moment we're sharing a Lenovo G550 with a Pentium Dual-Core T4200 processor. This is good enough but, if I am spending out on a new lappy then I want the best I can get for my money. If there is any others that you think would be more suitable I am open to suggestions. (Tried her on a netbook and she hated it though!!)

    Thanks again

    I am also swithering about purchasing a Samsung NP350V5C from Amazon (£369.00) :-

    Also, Very are also selling a similar Samsung NP350V5C for £379.00. (Possible discount codes & Quidco available to reduce this cost)

    Can anyone advise what is the main difference (if any) in these two items ?

    Many thanks JJ
