Looking at the following laptop for a friend. Seems like a good spec for the money. Anyone have any thoughts on it?
She gave me no set price range, just whatever i think was good, so aimng for sub 500.

that looks very good for the price and the reviews seem encouraging. Am in the market for a new laptop myself and this is very tempting although I was looking for a smaller screen. Reviews say it's lightweight though which may counteract any qualms I had in that regard. Will wait for other opinions before moving I think...

Looking at it, only thing that troubles me is

DVD optical drives: Dual layer

That has to be some form of dvd writer doesnt it? Dont think anything comes with a bog standard dvd drive these days does it?

I'd buy it if i was in the market for a new laptop sub 500 quid.

It has to be a dvd writer. I'd be incredibly surprised if it wasn't.

I found the same pc for 60 quid more on pcworld.ie, def has a dvd writer.

Bought this at the weekend, very good laptop and light aswell.

Seemed to be the best around that price range in argos.

And yes it has a dvd-rewriter.
