My parents got this as a "light use" computer to replace an ancient desktop. Does them nicely. Big, chunky, robust plastic.

Appears to be a good price for what you get, almost disposable at £3.85 a week.
Had shocking CS from Acer and Argos in the past when I bought a laptop from deal on here with a 3 year "warranty"
Was cheaper to buy a refurbished hp from newandusedlaptops than fix the alleged fault. Which has done me 3+ years now
Seems to be a good price for what you get though - hot!

Sorry no. Because of the 1366 x 768 pixels display (not full HD) which seems to go with a nasty low resolution display.

•High definition display.
•Resolution 1366 x 768 pixels.
ermmm should that be 1920 x 1080 Display resolution??

High definition display - "you can't use your fingers to count pixels" - definition by Argos

Not a typo. It seems to be common practice for laptops with 1366x768 displays to be sold as high definition, even though you'd really struggle to find a laptop with a lower resolution display.

Anything with more than 720 lines/pixels horizontally qualifies for the standard 'HD ready'. So there are displays even more old fashioned than this which are supposedly "HD".
Bit out of date standard now.

Any deals on eye tests or laser surgery to upgrade my eyes? I watch content on my TV at home and a tablet when travelling.
Not sure where this obsession with HD has come from really. Did people complain about their CRT and Trinitron TVs at the time?
Anyone with any technical knowledge know whether these specs are good for the money?
Thanks

thought for the price this seemed good value, but obviously the screen lets it down according to the experts on here. So can the experts please let me know where i can find a similar spec laptop but with the proper HD screen at this price so i can go and buy it.

no one said the screen is bad, the laptop I am typing on is also 1366 x 768 pixels and its fine. Its six years old though so you just expect the screen res to be upgraded like everything else is.
I voted hot and I think its a good price, I paid more than this new item for a display model lenovo g550 pentium dual-core t4300, 3gb ram, 250gb hdd and 15.6" screen, and windows 7. oh and no hdmi port.
As always do you own research.

I'm happy to spend £50-£100 more on a laptop, but is there much more bang for my buck than this, or is this pound for pound the best deal around at the moment?

If your willing to spend £150 more this would be a good one for you.
