  I'm sure that would be shocking news to Packard Bell.

  Refurbished from the dsg group is a risk too. For thosebthat order make sure the specs are the same ad you have purchased and what level of damage is on the laptop.... This is from experience.

  When I click on more info it takes you back to the search. I assume that means they are now out of stock. Decent price for an i5 while it was on there though.

  Appears so.
  The 2nd configuration is gone too.
  Oh well - hope the lucky few are happy with their purchase!

  The i5 in the deal was right on the boundary of what I consider to be a sensible configuration (in terms of CPU to GPU power ratio) - I wouldn't want to spend any more on the CPU without significantly improving the GPU.
  
  Tbh I'd much prefer a high clock speed i3 paired with a decent dedicated GPU; but unfortunately such configurations rarely crop up at crazily discounted prices.
  
  However if your typical workload falls into one of those niche use-cases where you can utilize 4+ cores, and have no need for GPU speed then I suppose that i7 might make sense.
  
  - I place little importance upon RAM, as it's so cheap and easy to upgrade.
  - As for HDD, so long as there is space to install all the programs I need, additional space just acts as temptation to store data on the laptop; generally considered to be a 'bad idea'.
  - Battery capacity is a nice bonus, but would never factor into my purchase choice - as they are by their very nature consumables so can/will be replaced.
