    Am a little out of touch price wise and am looking for a general all rounder laptop (No gaming).

    Can get this EX VAT for €495

    * Screen size - 15.6 in
    * Processor - Intel Intel Core i3 370 - 2.4 GHz
    * RAM - 4 GB
    * Hard Drive - 320 GB
    * Operating System - Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit)
    * Optical Drive - DVD Super Multi
    * Graphics - Intel
    * Webcam - Integrated
    * Warranty - 1 year warranty


    Is this a reasonable Spec for the price compared to bricks and mortar offerings?

    i think so yes. i wouldnt buy anything less than i3 for a laptop circa the 500 mark.
    also, buy it from amazon, (i was looking for a laptop for a friend at that price) and found amazon to be pretty much the best price. its £420 and free delivery.

    very solid laptop, and definitely better than what you would be getting in a bricks and mortar for that price.
