    The spec is very poor. You can do alot better buying from Dell or an Acer from E-buyer.

    for sort of the same money ok £574.54
    You can get a newer more upto date core2duo 1.66Ghz with 1GB and a 60GB hard drive

    Toshiba satalite pro A120 from Dabs

    Good choice on buying a tosh the build quality is far superior to Dell or Acer, that is why they cost a little more but it is worth paying that bit extra.

    Check out https://www.dmxdimension.com for Dell deals

    Look at the 1501 - you should be able to get a very good mid range model for under £400
