    Looking for opinions on the above ultra-portable laptop. finding it hard to get reliable reviews online at the moment.
    Only real reason im considering it is that its being offered to me at €250 second hand, and the only price i see online is $1000.
    Good deal or not?

    Well i wouldn't class it as an ultra portable at 13.3". Is the spec of the laptop the same as the link above? With the graphics and processor etc? How is the battery life? How is the general condition?
    I'll be honest for 250 is sounds very cheap, i'd be wary.

    Oh im wary myself, seems too good to be true! however he has offered to send it to me via courier, give me 5days with it while the money will be in custody with the shipping company. Seems a nice time to test for flaws etc.

    Condition is excellent and specs as above.

    Can find very little on the net about it, seems possible it was an older config in the SR series, although those specs still seem fairly spiffy!

    It's a scam. Dont think about paying any money unless you have the laptop in hand. And get to check it out. Where did you find the deal? gumtree? 250 is ridiculously cheap, and a free courier?!?!

    Either way, just forget about it. If it sounds too good to be true then it probably is.
