    It has now arrived. But it is neither of the prizes advertised in the Currys FB post. It is a Pavilion x2. Lesser value and specification.

    Do I complain about this or just accept a reasonable win. It is nice, with the removable tablet feature but not as powerful as the one I thought I had won.

    It's up to you really, what do you want to do?

    I won a pc a few years ago and it was a much lower spec than specified in the comp details.
    I politely asked if there had been a mistake and send a screenshot of the competition page (which luckily was still available in Google's cache)
    Within a couple of days, they'd picked up the cheap pc and replaced it with the one I had been expecting.
    Best win ever: Trip to the Galapagos Islands in 2010
