Recently purchased one of these and it came as new. All the cellophane was still around the laptop and stickers attached to the keyboard etc. Great up to date laptop with i3 processor.

Amazing how Argos teamed up with sellers on eBay to offer click and collect service at their stores .. Yet don't offer the option on their eBay/ refurb stuff... crazy world we live in.

I'm assuming this is because of that 'local warehouse' model they adopted recently.

Just looked my self - from the wow corei3 £200 ish
Than looked at the screen parameters 15.6 inch screen.Resolution 1366 x 768 pixels. low end The lower you ca not go
Lot of people will not notice this as they maybe do not have quality screen to compare . When you see good screen it is very very hard to go back poor quality screen

My son bought one of these last week and it is in perfect condition - not even a scratch on it - he's more than happy enough with it.

Worth checking single thread too, a tad weak but perfectly OK at this price point...

how are the speakers on this? i am after a fairly cheap laptop, mainly for spotify and web browsing, but low end laptops generally tend to have poor speakers, however this says it has skullcandy ones, they any good?

Mine came with windows 8 but not sure which version. I didn't check before upgrading straight away to windows 10 via USB.

Cheers Jock, just wondered as they state it *may* come with an updated and / or different version, so was
hoping it might be 8 / 8.1 pro for an update to 10 pro ;-)

the " local warehouse" model is costing them sales ..Its absurd. They should offer an order from eBay via the shop and collect in shop service . Totally ridiculous this isn't available.
As far as I can see it's severe months under three years old, or at least the Haswell CPU/graphics component is came out in 2013 and is now two generations out of date, so to speak, if the incremental improvements that came with Broadwell and now Skylake matters to anyone. Considering that additionally it's refurbished, the price seems okay, though I would thought if it retailed at £399 it would either perhaps be an i5 or have a higher resolution screen. Seem to be sold out or I would have given some heat.

Same spec in red for a tenner more if people have missed out.
Has anybody successfully created recovery media When I run Toshiba Recovery Media Creator it states NO HDD Recovery Area. I can see a total of 5 partitions. Googling hasn't been of any help. :neutral_face:
