    I'm looking for an entry level laptop for a young kid - do people think that this:

    http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/compu...l50-c-22l-15-6-laptop-white-10137862-pdt.html

    is worth getting in terms of quality at the price point?

    I checked the laptop out and can see that the screen is great, keyboard is not that awesome but would pass given the intended use.
    Any comments/heads up on issues etc. would be appreciated.

    I have a colleague who has one of these. Its not great. Sure, the screen is fantastic, buts that's where the awesomeness stops. It is VERY flimsy. It physically "droops" if you pick it up with one hand. The hinges went all wibbly wobbly within a month.

    For a young child / teen, probably wont last long.
