I actually picked up the COMPAQ V6314EA LAPTOP last week, got a good deal as get 10% off the price. Great for what I need it for. Would recommend it. PC world's aftercare is rubbish though, but everyone knows that. Only thing about it is that it does not come with a resource disc, got the recovery software built into it. Just dont roll it back to XP as there is no support for it on this laptop, no drivers no f**k all.
