Just brought one of these laptops from MCS technology as my last laptop finally died on me and I've been rather impressed with it so far as a cheap laptop for my uni work.

Would have grabbed one personally, but unfortunately they dont support the Dell docking stations.
Still Heat though.

Oooh nice x Although the graphics card seems pants (useless) and no opersting system is just adding to the cost :/ x

Not cutting edge, but I wouldn't say pants - far better than no graphics card.
So for £240 you're getting a fairly nippy laptop with the added bonus that it can play games with about the same quality / resolution as an Xbox One.

I have Dell inspiron from MCSCOM, very good service.
Does anyone have any issues with their laptop draining quickly after shutting down?
The battery holds charge for almost 3.5 hours. Since windows 10 upgrade drains constantly overnight!

You sure it's shutting down and not in standby?

Wadz - I have had similar issues on my Lenovo Yoga - try uninstalling Intel Management Engine driver (version 11.0... you have probably with Win10) and try installing Intel Management Engine but older version than 11 (Intel website), please check if your laptop is actually going to "sleep" - or you can hear it going (CPU fan, HDD?) - that was an issue for most Lenovo + HP laptops after upgrade to Windows 10

Sell the 1TB HD before installing any OS. Buy a SSD got a pretty fast machine.
