Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

sorry,new laptop.
HP 250 G5 £60 + postage. No OS. yes, sell them no os .or linux mint, honest
Installed linux mint cinnamon and it's fine... like ny ex win pc running mint.
For the linux posters :)
moving on from, abandoning win or the sinking ship, whell you got to try an alternative to judge it. mint isdesighned to make it feel like windows, file manager behaves the same and lots of win features work. nice linux laptop £60 does what win did :)
