Thats actually a good deal at that price, well spotted.

The graphics card on that is almost comparable with a geforce 330M which would be quite decent for most games.

I think the only problem is that it doesn't seem to have a CD rom drive...it says main drive DVD+/-RW...I don't know if it can read CD roms as well. But it's not a requirement. As long as I can use Microsoft Office, etc. Like I said, it's mainly for work, but a bit of gaming would be a bonus :D

It must be able to read CD roms, surely? I know desktop pc's have a cd drive and a dvd drive. Not sure if you can get an all in one drive.

Not sure about internet connectivity though...it says WIFI but no Bluetooth.

My mum and bro have just been ooo'ing re: the TS11 :roll: "ooo I wouldn't buy it off some random seller on ebay, what about warranty? They might go out of business" :bla: :chuckle: Maybe I shouldn't listen to them... :D

You can pay for warranty on that item if you wish. I would personally question the value of this, as most laptops break a few years down the line when your warranty is worthless. They're a commercial seller that have sold nearly 67,000 items, so I wouldn't worry about their reliability, or them running out of stock, too much.

Its about the same spec, just a tad more RAM and an extra 50 quid.
I wouldn't bother, the first one you linked is fine.
