    Hi guys,
    Would really appreciate your advice on this laptop. Is it a good deal? Its for general use, email etc..and the kids watch a little youtube. Was looking at a dell with the new i3 core (?) but it works out around €550 so this is much cheaper! Should I go with this or spend the extra?!
    Thanks guys, Carab

    It's fine for what you need. Processor is a bit crap, but the price is low so i suppose there has top be a compromise!
