the best bits about it are the 2Gb RAM which is better than the 512Mb I've had up until now and the screen resolution is better. The biggest hassle is that I've gone from a 15.4" screen to a 14.1" screen (1280 x 800)... bleah. I'll see how it goes but I *may* go out and buy a nice big external LCD monitor to plug it into when at home. My daughter's laptop is only 13" and she's been whinging... errr... asking us to buy a bigger monitor as well, so that'll be good for both of us then.
Plus it's fully warrented and insured for the 3 years so that costs me NOTHING!
All this for $5.00 a week!!!!!!
cheers
Sean
