Second that, I bought a £200 laptop to use whilst working away from home. I swapped out the drive for an ssd, now or runs so fast it doesn't get the chance to remember it only i3 with 6Gb memory!

Sorry you went for a Dell, I used to work for them. What does Dell Stand for Doesn't Ever Last Long. All I did all day was to replace either the graphics card, motherboards or sound cards in customers places.
Sadly Dell never sent out new motherboards, even when the machine was brand new and just out of the box, always refurbished boards! Also they are soooo reluctant to replace the machine. I remember going to one customer 20 odd times and he still couldn't get Dell to replace the machine!
Oh we got very high pay, as well as on zero hours contracts, £8.00 per call!! Yep, if the call took 5 mins we got £8.00, if it took 5 hours we got £8.00 and we had to find our own petrol and parking money out of the £8.00!!!
I understand it has gone up now to £15.00 per call, BUT they have changed the ruling in that if you don't fix the machine, you get nowt!! When I was on the £8.00 per call, we at least got that every time.
