What are you asking exactly?

Also I'm a bit puzzled by your Minecraft comment, you posted in this forum asking if Minecraft worked on Windows 8 and several people confirmed it does.

as far as i am aware minecraft will play on windows 8. No offense but do you really need pc worlds insurance? will the ordinary manufacturers warranty not do? There are plenty of laptops about with an i5 check out ebuyer.com. I always buy my computer stuff from there. They will also sell you extended warranty and possibly even pc world type insurance.

Minecraft works on Windows 8 x86 and x64.

Don't buy from PC World, they are overpriced and their insurance is pants.

Buy from an internet source, eBuyer is pretty good, and use your contents insurance instead.

thanks for all your replies, regarding the minecraft comment , the replies were not conclusive and looked on the microsoft website and forums and couldcnt get a definative answer.I will have a look on ebuyer, thanks again

I posted in your thread saying I'd tested the game and it worked fine in Windows 8 so I'm not sure how it could any more definitive really.

I agree with Tom's comment above, while I don't mind buying PCs from PC World if they're a good deal I certainly wouldn't do so just for their insurance scheme which seemed very expensive compared to insuring the laptop on a home insurance policy which is usually not too expensive.
