The link is nothing untoward.

It's just a clip from The Big Bang Theory.

As to the laptop, not bad but, you will still have to pay extra for MS Office.

oh, that's okay then:cool: thought it was a rude one!
The Office thing, i'll just dl that on a trial. It's not a massive thing for me as I could always borrow a copy.

Whilst we are all here, in reference to strider's post above,

I see refurb machines that cost £2000+ in 2010 and they have typically i5 or i7 1.7 - 2.6 GHz, 250GB - 300GB drives and they now cost £250 - £400 refurbished.

Are the refurb machines going to be better than the new laptops today that are selling for £400 - £500 for example OP's HP Pavillion example is selling for £450 and has 1.5TB HDD, i5 2.6GHz and 8GB RAM.

As the refurbs retailed at a lot more money -in their day- are they better build quality and although have smaller HDD/RAM will be adequte and outlast a new machine costing £400 - £500 today?

The OP has since said, they're looking for something smaller.

He has told me that the one I showed here is bigger than he wants- he has seen some small screen ones and I will pass the info from here to him so he can choose.
