    An update. I went for the hp 590-p0057na today as the cheaper one was not in stock and this one has now had some money knocked off.
    Anyway i have connected it all up but havent turned it on yet. I guess the keyboard and mouse needed to be connected to the top two Usb slots at the back? No instructions at all came with the system.
    Is there anything that would be good to know before i turn it on? for example when i was looking at reviews of computers i remember one person complained no code for windows was included. Well mine didn't have anything like that I either. Am i going to need something like that? If so how do i get it?

    The KB and mouse can be connected to any USB port ... Windows will link the drivers as required on start up.

    Have you tried Googling for the user manual?

    If the seller has already activated the PC then there's no need for a code.

    I did find an online manual but there is nothing about how to connect it up and the website was extremely slow on the iPad. Its silly because for many the new pc will be there only way to connect so they need to know beforehand.
    I have about 30 days left of Kaspersky on my old pc. Its a 1 device version. Can i transfer that to the new one or will i have to put in the new code i bought straight away?

    Fair point about the manual.

    Kapersky? No idea, I don't use a paid-for AV/security package with annual licencing.

    Good spec. Just connect keyboard, mouse (any USB ports), monitor (VGA) (I see it has wifi already), power and.... power it up...
