    It’s hard to believe it was ever €719 originally. A plastic piece of tat really. Although reasonable at the reduced price.

    Friend told me he ended up buying. Decent value I think for someone on a budget not needing to do anything fancy on it.

    I saw it in the local currys and rebooted it. Came back up in less than 15 seconds. It appeared very responsive. As other posters said it was a bit plasticy however my HP is the same. Nothing like the build qulality of my 2011 Lenovo or indeed my 2007 Dell.

    My 6 year old Asus reboots in 12 seconds. Tech hasn't changed in years :(

    The biggest let down is that theres no seperate buttons on the touch pad.

    I bought an acer laptop with similar specs for my father 2 years ago, and its very hard to right click i find, im not moving my finger over far enough or something.
