I quite like that HP. Do Dabs have some kind of "whitelabel" system for their whole site, because BT's shop is remarkably similar, well, almost exactly the same. No Dabs cookies though?

This is £300 in Asda (orbital). Depends what your intended use is outside FM games. And how much you want to sped of course.

I'd get a JJ opinion before purchase.

For £350 the Asda Lappy is good value.

The medion...avoid, they are reknown for low build quality abd many problems afterwards with a shit after sales service.
