You couldn't call it a laptop with those specs. To be honest a half decent smartphone would be just as capable

Realistically you'd get a new Chromebook for the same price with a full proper warranty, though at €199 it's not criminal but it is very low-end. For taking notes or watching the odd video it's pretty OK though I think the CPU would just be too slow for me personally.

Thanks lads, suspected as much!

Generally Pigsback is just selling generic Chinese crap. The brand is one I've never heard of so I would be wary about how this would last.

As for the machine, it's very low end and probably priced about right. It would be okay for just browsing the internet, the Atom processors are very capable in day to day tasks. The lack of storage (32GB, almost all phones come with this amount now) would present some issue, but it all depends on your usage.

But I wouldn't touch it. I am always suspicious of tech "deals" offered by this crowd.
