    I have a rather large objection to Tiny, after my sister's computer stopped working (faulty power supply) only a week or so after the guarantee ran out. But maybe that's just me.

    Tiny have got a shocking service record, after all TINY stands for "tough its now yours", currys currently have a laptop very similar to this one, same processor etc, however it only comes with 256mb ram and a 40gb hard drive, I bought one of these recently, with a discount code that was found on this site, and only paid £474 so if your not to happy with TINY i would highly recommend the Packard Bell on currys/dixons/pc worlds site/s.


    All the best for now

    i have heard nothing but bad things about tiny and for that much money i would recommend a visit to https://www.dell.co.uk which sell good quality machines

    A TINY PC isnt a bargain even if it was free. It will likely cost you £100s in premium rate telephone support charges over its life time. They seem to be deliberately designed to be useless and require large amounts of support.

    Which is an appalling claim. £499 is a vaugely OK price but then it's Tiny so even that's not. £999 - I'd like to know when and where.

    A good Time machine is even harder to find than a Tardis

    Main difference being that the tiny deal is a laptop, not a PC!
    Next year we'll be millionaires!

    As a heavily qualified IT technician of 12 years, network manager and general PC know-it-all, who works EVERY DAY with Tiny machines I tell you this
    Don't buy them. I cannot stress enough how awful they are and their customer service is beyond a joke. I have known us throw the machines away after two months from new.
