The Fujitsu is a much better machine than the Advent - just on the specs you've posted.

Thanks - I have managed to persuade my hubby to buy one...

Are 2nd hand laptops in demand, I thought I could resell the one I have? I would have to clear all the data on it, but otherwise is a good idea?

Thanks again

fujitsu is the better, also almost certainly better build quality as well

You can sell second hand laptops but as the price of new ones has dropped so much the second hand value is low .
Advent the PC world brand do not have a very good reputation on spec or price .

Going to get it tomorrow. Have (finally) decided. My son is going to buy my Advent one (at a very low price - bless him) & is also very happy about it.

Thanks for all the advice & help.
