Just taken delivery of my new Laptop

[manxspud]

ive got a toshiba m50- sumet , had it for goin on 7 years now, 1.73ghz 1 gb ram , 40gb hdd, still as quick as day i got it, does everything i need it too, and not 1 fault, well worth the 700 quid i paid for it.

Shows how times change does it not ... my daughters netbook (2yrs old) has a better speck than that and cost me ?110

I remember buying my 1st dvd rewriter for ?180 was a pioneer single layer 2X ... then a month after buying a nec Dvd rewriter again single layer 2x that upgraded to a 4x with a firmware upgrade

Now a days would get a 22x for less than ?20
