And I reckon most folks who know stuff about computers would rather have a (for example) 128GB SSD than a 500GB spinning/slow disk. Especially when we have so much cheap cloud storage. Maybe that's just me though.Read lessRead more

As a system builder you'd be surprised how hard it is to convince people how useful a ssd is. Seriously I've had people upgrade ram and cpu after being advised an ssd would actually be more noticeable and then complain it still boots slow

what's the point of a touchscreen on a laptop?

Not full HD cold and I genuinely mean it.

I like your voting style, others may hate it but I like your honesty.

I also hate the voters who give heat for effort rather than the product...

None near Ipswich, but available in Bury St Edmunds

I just don't know why the manufacturers are still not using St drives. Even if the capacity was smaller, I'm sure folks would recognise the advantage.

SSDs have its place, mostly as a os/boot partition it isn't the end all of storage. Understanding the differences and limitations are important. That is the same with cloud storage.

Only 2 available in the whole of the uk by the looks of it.

It's also available from argos outlet on eBay for £270 - refurbished

To compete with Mac users

this or a toshiba chromebook 2?

internet and media (watching films) uses.

whats everyones views? personally i've gone for the toshiba chromebook 2, but just wanted to see peoples opinions

Usually, someone would somehow post all the stock in all Argos stores, I think there is a website/app for it.
Are you guys getting lazy?

It's 20 pound vouchers, work at argos and you get 20 pound gift card when bought with any laptop or tablet

It's 20 pounds worth of vouchers not 10

They is actually one in a store 5 minutes walk from me, they wasn't one when this deal was posted.

Tempted.

I dont like Chrome OS personally, but If you do, Toshiba should be enough for internet and media I think and it will be faster for sure
