After quidco deductions, you work out paying around £201.21.

It's OK for an XP machine but by the time you upgrade RAM + HD you can probably buy a better notebook for the same money. Doesn't say whether it's new and how long the warranty is.

VIA Chrome9 VN896, probably can't play games.

Rather slow but still decent cpu - yonah core if I remember. Good deal, fast enough for comfortable browsing/office.

Yep, but as I say, if you only have £200 to spent then it's all you have.

You'd probably be faster connecting an external USB graphics card. Seriously.

Excellent price for a laptop that will more than suffice for most users' needs. Bargain.

Bit of a weak laptop !!!
I agree.
Both of my sons bought an Amilo Pro and on both, the hinges broke. One a 15.4" and one a 17".

I've had the amilo L720 for about 2 years now.
I boosted ram to 1gb but wouldn't want to try Vista on it.
I'm happy with it which is a shame as i can't justify getting a new lappy.
I'd say it's "Adequate".

first of all repped op for the excellent spot and ordered one.

i personally think this is a very good deal because

1. weak pound exchange rate means it is very difficult to find a BRAND NEW laptop for around £200 mark
2. as other poster suggest, the cpu is a bit weak but will be fine for general office/ browsing use, etc
3. excellent starter for people who are on budget
4. "netbook" price laptop

i missed out on the acer last time so i am very happy manage to bag one this time.

btw where can i get ram for this laptop cheaply??

thanks in advance

I think i got mine from Crucial.com
