Was pretty satisfied all in all, it's been reliable. Only slight annoyance was that it took about a month from order to arrival I think, and in that time the model up graphics card had come down to the price I'd paid for the one I got, but they stick you to what you ordered and won't budge.<br /><br /> Anyway, that was all about three years ago or more, I've since upgraded the graphics card (after a couple of years, to something much better even though second hand) and it's still going strong. Apparently Core2Duo PCs are well old now! It still seems to play games pretty well.<br /></div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=40856.2&return_msg=40856.1" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="40856.2"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a40856_3"></a><div class="message" id="message_40856_3"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: koswix<span class="message_time">31 Dec 2013 16:37</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: milko <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 31 Dec 2013 18:03"></span></span> <span class="message_count">3 of 66</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=40856.3">40856.3</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=40856.1#a40856_2" target="_self">40856.2</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Cool - they seem to have been picking up awards for their desktops, and they laptops seem to be highly regarded peice/performance wise, if not on aesthetics.
