    Iv a 2009 laptop with a SSD running Win7 and it is very responsive. So if Win10 is slow just install 7.
    Just install any Linux distro.


    Not complaining, but most of the people who might buy this will use it right out from the box, and won't bother.... they will complain that they bought a computer, and it's not working as they expect. And expectations differ for each one of us.


    If it were me, I'd install Debian 8, any lightweight desktop, then forget about it all.

    Gimmicks really. A variant of this is probably the best for terrestrial TV.

    I hope you get it but....

    Expect a call saying out of stock or similar excuse
    or
    No call and to be told "laptops aren't eligible for home delivery and you shouldn't have been able to order it" when you call to enquire why your delivery didn't arrive.

    I have a €0 transaction pending on my Credit Card so it looks like there's a charge coming through from tesco

    Every single time. Those charges are automated. You'll get an out of stock call in the morning.

    You have to wonder how they get away with calling 1366 x 768 HD, especially on a 15"

    Don't get me started ... my ancient phone has higher resolution ... and a higher clock speed ... and the French were broadcasting TV with a vertical resolution of 737 lines system as far back as 1949 ...

    But for the price it's OK.

    I bought this for the kids last year when it was on offer, its the slowest computer I have ever worked with, terrible even for browsing the internet.

    Apologies for posting off topic and bumping this thread again and no offence intended to the previous posters

    But there is little point in bumping the thread to let us know you didn't get the laptop.

    We need to just post the bargains which are becoming few and far between

    Actually I prefer to see when bargain orders were cancelled, otherwise I'll think people got the item
