    on the face of it, yes, BUT:-

    1. what OS is installed(oops, missed W8 in the description...)
    2. What exactly does grade B mean? (different companies use different criteria)
    3. which company is it from? can you post a link? may or may not be reputable
    ......Gettin' There, Wherever There is......

    I have a dodgy "i" key, so ignore spelling errors due to "i" issues, ...I blame Apple :D

    Is this not the make for Aldi's? have seen the name there before.

    If so, they don't think you will have any complaints with it, they usually have a few features listed, but in actual fact do a lot more than they advertise.
    Looking forward to the day I have nothing left to list on eBay

    No experience of that particular model, but I've had a Medion tower system for donkey's years (it came with XP, so you can see how old it is :) ), and I've recently bought a Medion Notebook, which is also very good.

    I can't fault either machine.

    I know it's a bit more expensive, but how about this?

    Yes that's fine now, hubby s got it. Our compaq is 10 years old now and I ve tried certain things to get it back up to speed but it's not much better and I don't really know what to do as in posting hijack logs etc.
