Realy good value
Took about half an hour to set up -which included stripping all the bloatware/apps, loaded AVGfree and installing winshell - really don't like win8!
One thing of note with winshell - in other than basic mode it would occassionally prevent the wifi from loading but seems ok apart from that.
Tried to backup to disk but it failed to complete the last (number twelve) on so had to backup to a usb hd.
Why only four star? Two issues - 1) I'm struggling with the screen colour balance if it's ok for desktop it's too dark for movies 2) the power connector port feels a bit insecure - wobbles about a bit, not sure it will last!
Other than that it's a good price for an i5
Update - changed the video settings on VLC to directx and videos now play ok
Just ordered a futher 4gb memory for under
