    First Question

    whats it for?
    surfing the net? perfect!



    Operating system Genuine Windows® XP Media Center Edition <--- surely Vista would come as standard nowadays!

    Surfing the net, a little bit of web design on the side, nothin too major
    Watching DVD's, Downloading etc
    Operating system Genuine Windows® XP Media Center Edition <--- surely Vista would come as standard nowadays!
    Its from August 2007 but comes with 2 months warranty too as its Official Toshiba Refurbished

    Not too worried about the spec as it seems perfect for what i need it for
    more concerned about the Price
