Am thinking of getting one of these http://www.currys.co.uk/martprd/sto...null&sm=null&tm=null&sku=903405&category_oid= Any opnions. Seems decent. Big screen lot of RAM and big hard drive. I want it for general day to day stuff. Internet surfing, playing and storing music, maybe some games etc
will be fine if thats all you need it for, i bought one of these http://www.ebuyer.com/product/139119 as a second comp for more or less the same use, kids, music surfing etc lower spec than the currys one but i have no complaints
