      just have one problem with it though, the touchpad keeps sticking on the lower left mouse click & it's really annoying.
      have you given it a good blow?

      remove any dust and the like.

          What you want is something like my Apple rMBP with 750g SSD 16gig RAM and something called ivy bridge.

          It opens up my emails just fine.

                No contractor would (or should) go onsite with a laptop like that. It says "I settle for cheap tat" and clients will clock it and wonder what else you settle for when you're doing your job.

                £290 for that is a joke TBH. You've got more chance of finding £290 down the back of the sofa. I'd guess that it's worth £200 tops. Stick it on ebay as a buy it now or best offer.

                I got a lenovo T420 with i5 and 128GB SSD for £430 second hand. I got an X230T for £460 as well. Those are top end laptops, easily upgraded to 16GB. No need to waste money on tat.

                Here you go, £260. 16GB ram will set you back £125 from crucial. I'd fit an SSD as well TBH.

                While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

                  1/2 days wage?

                  Don't you understand salary/ dividend split?

                  You're not a proper contractor, are you?

                    Quite, I'd at least want to reclaim the VAT on the FRS. :-)

                      I guess this thread will stop anyone else deciding to try and use CUK as a free classifieds section.
