512 Mb no where near good enough for vista. If you got any computer knowlege then either install xp or get more ram. Good price for the base, but be warned this will be a snail in Vista.

Agree - but with the proviso that for many people this basic functionality is sufficient. I have never seen it quantified, but in my experience the accumulation of rubbish that infests PCs over time means that a new low spec PC will often outperform a more elderly higher spec rival and also by its nature resist the worst excesses of clutter that cause this slowdown.

Sorry el-beatle but Bertt's language looks pretty routine from here. I guess its back to the dictionaries.

Anything for that price looks OK but I agree you wouldn't want to run Visa on this spec. I'd be inclined to dump Vista, install XP and look around for a bit of cheap ram.

No need to apologise Dave-T. I do actually parade around this site under different pseudonyms, oops there's a big word, and have been around for a few years now. This post however tickled me by the way it read. Once again thanks for the apology, but really there's no need.

Seems a good price to me for a basic lappy. Would probably stick XP pro on it tho.
