    This is getting stupid. the OP wanted something small and compact !!
    Perhaps you should have engaged with the OP, as the rest of us did. You wouldn't then be posting pointless comments that don't help anyone.

    Right, which swine has gone and nicked all the stock....i decided to go for the Lenovo but when added to basket says out of stock.....I'm not happy now :(
    Oh well...anything similar, my half 5 morning alarm is too close for me to look anymore tonight......thanks all for you help.
    I think you may find it hard to get one of those. I think they were last years model and PCW sold off the last few at a discount.
    You might get one refurbished from ebay.

    It was a clear and present bargain. Five hours to decide was five hours too long.

    We bought an all in one Samsung touch screen PC last year - its awesome. Screen is about 23 inch. Not sure of model but its part of the 700 series from memory. It looks great in the living room on the side board when not in use (like having a thin screen tv stood there), and we put it on the kitchen table to use it. We've also had it on the coffee table to watch online content we couldn't get through the tv.

    Slightly heavier than a laptop, but easily maneouvered. We originally went to get a laptop but really liked this all in one. Has a small wireless keyboard and mouse, and does everything we want. Ultra quiet, and suits our needs, and the touch screen is great. Think we paid about £600 last year with vouchers and cash back etc. If we'd had any intention of it ever leaving the house, then would probably have gone for a laptop, but this replaced our old desktop marveloooosly. (Please note, I don't have any affiliation with Samsung, and we got an LG tv over a Samsung one just to balance things out).

    Just sent you a PM :o


    It's not a problem. You can think about it. You can cancel one and order the other or just leave things as they are.

    The DELL has more RAM and an anti-glare Touch screen. The other has a better CPU, Windows 8.1, faster hard drive, an IPS screen(better quality) and the possibility of a three year warranty for a sightly lesser price overall(which would allow you to take it up to 8GB RAM for around the same price as the DELL.

    Not huge differences. It just depends on what is most important to you.
    If you want/need a Touchscreen, then stick with the DELL.
