    Spec is not earth shattering how much is it sub £300
    Yeah, just decided to buy it anyway as I can return to tesco if needed. It was £251, seemed like a good price, so did not want to leave it on the shelf. I will just have to see if I can get used to windows 8 and if it is fast enough.

    Dont get much new for £250 so you have not been robbed at all.

    No doubt it will be quicker than your old one ;) and windows 8 I have avoided , our laptop has it but I use that only to sort something out on it. Not keen myself but have never given it a chance the wife thinks its fine once she got it how she wanted it.

    You can always download classic shell I think its called and then it has the same start up screen as windows 7 :cool:

    Hmmmm, don't think I like it, it keeps freezing up for a second or two when I only have 1webpage open. Probably because of all the carp they seamed to have put on it.

    Lol, I don't think it is faster. To be fair, the other one was twice the price, and can only be 2 years old tops. Why all the apps, are they mad?
    Edit: and why does f5 not refresh, it loads a home page instead?
