For 311 GBP I'd definitely go for it! Seems like a very good laptop for the price :). It's saying out of stock at the moment though.

Pretty much any laptop for £300 is a good deal, so you might as well get it!

Resolution isn't ****. Not sure why you'd assume anything that isn't 1080p is ****, that's ******* ridiculous. And a 5400RPM HDD isn't "crap slow". I wouldn't buy one myself but it isn't crap slow, just slower than 7200 (obviously).

By today's standards, both are absolute ****. The difference between a 5400RPM drive and 7200RPM drive in daily usage is like night and day, same goes for the screen resolution.

Even by today's standards neither are ****. A 1366x768 monitor can run 1080i, which isn't absolute ****. The HDD is bad but certainly isn't the difference between night and day man, you're wrong, I'm not sure why you're disagreeing since it's ridiculous to say any of that.

Are you a troll? 1366x768 is ******* awful, wether something can play 1080i or not is irrelevant, it's a **** resolution without much space to work on.

And I can tell you, you can very much notice the difference between 5400RPM and 7200RPM, go try switching from one to the other now, I guarantee you'll notice it.

Context is necessary. I don't know the users on this forum, for web developers and designers a higher resolution would be great, but isn't 100% necessary. My laptop is like 1280xsomething and I never had any issues designing or coding on it. It isn't ******* awful. Anything less than 1920x1080 seems to be **** by YOUR standards, not by today's standards. A full HD resolution is definitely not necessary for this person as I can only assume they'll be playing Habbo and listening to music with it.

My laptop HDD is 5400RPM and my PC HDD is 7200RPM, I never said there isn't a difference, that'd be stupid. There certainly is a difference, and it's noticeable. What I said is that it isn't the difference between night and day, which it certainly ******* isn't. You are over-exaggerating so much it's unreal.

Next you'll say you need 16GB of RAM to run a Call of Duty game.
