Found the following laptop which fits my requirements and appears to be a bargain. But I've never heard of IT247 - has anyone here? feel free to point any issues with the laptop because I can't see a problem with it...

I bought it today. Looks legit, my brother checked some forums and people write good reviews. There is also a 2.5% discount code somewhere. I should get mine mid week so will report back.

will the laptop cope with Windows 7 OK?

It comes with Vista, so I'd say so yes.

Never heard of the supplier, but that's a very nice spec for the money.

Given I put W7 on an old Celeron based laptop for my Mum and it runs fine, I am going to say yes.

Hadn't actually read the spec of the link before, but wow, that is a deal! It'll easily run Win7.

Try and put a 64bit version on though to make the most of the 4Gb ram and graphics memory.

I think the problem might be the lack of drivers (that's what my brother said :-P)

Did anyone got an phonecall from them after placing an order to supply a copy of an utility bill to confirm the address? They did not have the Visa verify thingy where You put another password so I assume it's because of that.
