Hi Slick

I don't know that one but for a comparrison take a look at this Dell for £641, which I know is OK http://www1.euro.dell.com/content/products/features.aspx/notebooks_Q4_W8_inspn_510m_N015M5?c=uk&cs=ukdhs1&l=en&s=dhs Good luck. BF

Price when up since the last time I read this message :rotflmao: Anyway, I would suggest taking the make and model and do a search and see if anyone else has the same for cheaper. Also go to some of the major brands and see if you can custom any cheaper.

You did your homework and looks like it paid off. Good job.
