this is good enough to stop me bothering to replace my laptop. let's go old skool with this, get a massive monitor, and just use the laptop for travelling. amazing! just one thing, which price is right? 760 ex vat or 680?

By gavmeister on 8 Feb 2010

Price

As far as I can work out, the £680 exc VAT price doesn't include an OS, so the £760 exc VAT price is correct. I've changed the review accordingly.

Cheers.
David
