They seem to use the cheapest crap materials available.

The last advent I seen was made of papier mâché.

But all the hdd, processor, etc will be branded is it just the case and keyboard that are made of poor quality stuff?
Works perfectly and never had one problem

I just got a Samsung 256 for about £146 and £20 cashback.
Hope to put it into the new Toshiba that I've just won when I work up the courage.

Nice, I'm only willing to spend £70 on an SSD though :P

Probably a 128 then.
Get one with a kit though as you will probably need a USB to SATA cable.
Also, if you get one with an enclosure you can keep the old drive in it as an external although it's not compulsory to keep it in one.
Good luck.
But that is why they are cheaper than the branded partners.
They are like the Aldi brand of beans compared to the HP Sauce type.
Both are beans, but would will notice the difference.
Not knocking the deal tho, still not bad.
The CPU put put me off.

I have Fujitsu-Siemens, Advent and Toshiba laptops and an ASUS netbook.
I have no idea what CPU's they have but all have performed perfectly for my needs.
If I hadn't spilled rum n coke on the fujitsu and won the pools soon after, I'd still be using that but I bought the Advent.
I have just recently won the Toshiba so I now use the Advent as a "daytime" pc and the Tosh as an "evening" one when I'm in front of the telly.
If I had the knowledge to know which CPU was best and I could afford it, I'd probably go for it but I don't think the average user would NEED the best available.
Maybe a gamer or high end photo manipulating pc but too many people "obsess" about performance.
< Wouldn't be suprised if half the "performance trolls" wern't accessing HUKD on a Sinclair Spectrum and living in a dream world. (_;)
No! (if you run Vista in Basic mode, performance will be almost the same).

If I had to buy a new laptop for my old Dad this would be ideal - just for email / web / word processing and viewing / printing photos. These taks dont need a quad core CPU and 8GB of RAM and dedicated graphics !
He never takes it out of the home and uses it maybe for 30 mins at a time before recharging.
So for not much over £200 with warranty and an LED lit HD screen you can't go wrong :)
