| 1111828 | 2010-06-20 21:51:00 | Hello my son wants to buy this (www.computerlounge.co.nz) machine. Has anyone of you had any good or bad experiences with it? Thanks:) |

It's great for web browsing / email / typing notes etc. Don't expect to do any sort of heavy gaming, graphics editing etc as it is NOT for that and won't cope. We have WinXP rather than Win7 Starer on ours. |

Why don't you get a real laptop (notebook)? Why should I spend another $400 or so to buy something less convenient to carry and for features or capabilities I don't care about? |

| 1111834 | 2010-06-21 01:02:00 | Guys and Ladies Thanks for all your replies. Sounds like it is an ok machine. He is travelling overseas at the end of the year so I'll say it is for Facebook, email and generall browsing, and hopefully to keep in contact with me/us. I'll forward the link to the thread to him.:thanks:thanks |

Well, if that's all you need for 'computer' and are prepared to spend that sum of money, go ahead (as I said earlier)! To me, it's just an expensive toy.:D |

To me, it's just an expensive toy.:D bk T and others My boy was very happy with your replies. He's got a part time job after school, living at home, and feels rich. He can go for it and if it does not work well enough for him he'll sell it on, it's all a learning curve. I like the idea that if he leaves home, that he may keeps contact more regular with he's new toy. Money is not all. Thanks again:banana |
