    I have a simple question why is this laptop so cheap? The reason why I am asking this is because is because it is quad core, and has a large hard drive, I am increasing the ram to 7mb as its only costing £20 to do so , so why not, any ideas on how fast the laptop would run and if its any good?

    Please follow the link to check the laptop I am referring to

    Newer technology available, drives prices down.

    What would the use of the laptop be?

    Also, looking at the specs, only has a mono speaker, and doesn't look as if it has HDMI output, which for me would be a deal breaker!!

    Edit: It may have HDMI output, (I should read things more thoroughly!!)

    It would be used for general net, email, browsing, I wouldnt really be playing games but if I can get a quad core for £330 why not? Increasing the ram just because its possible to do so on the cheap and just wonder how fast it would be at 7mb? Is it something I am missing or is this extremely cheap for a quad core as all other quad core laptops are way more expensive?
