    Hi

    I'm looking at getting a new machine in the next couple of days, the model is x54h-sx168v. The price here in the UK is £349.95.

    Specs:
    Intel Core i3 Sandybridge 2310 2.1GHz
    4GB DDR3 SDRAM 1333MHz
    500GB SATA
    15.6” Active Matrix TFT Colour LCD
    LED Backlit
    Onboard Graphics
    Altec Lansing speakers
    1 x USB 3.0 port(s)
    1 x USB 2.0 port(s)
    1 x RJ45 LAN Jack for LAN insert
    1 x HDMI

    I've been looking online and visited some local stores and haven't found anything that matches this. The integrated graphics doesn't bother me as I'm not a gamer and was also thinking of putting 8gb in for £30, although this will prob be massive overkill. Is there something i'm missing with this machine, was there something really wrong with the design, heat etc, as the price for what you get is the best I've seen by far online and in store. Hopefully there isn't, but if anyone knows of any I'd like to know.

    Is it a good deal?

    Yes I have one and I can definitely say that it is a good deal and the price is very good for a laptop like that you may go forward puchasing it

    Thanks for the reply. Hopefully, going to purchase it tomorrow.

    What's the bloatware like on it, is their own software bundled on it any use. Looking at what comes with it, there seems a fair amount of it, comparable to some Acers I've had in the past, mind you nothing a fresh install couldn't sort out!!!

    What do you mean? Pre install programs?
