I've got a laptop at the moment but I'm thinking of getting a PC again and a good monitor. Those one's for around £130 look good value. Thanks for posting Peter! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

It surprised me to see the vast price range.

I just don't have the space for a really good desktop PC and monitor. Wish I did. :icon_rolleyes:

Thanks Peter.

I think I'll wait til this one expires....as per normal. :biggrin:

Also I have the PC connected to my 42" TV and can sit on the sofa with my wireless keyboard and mouse when I need a change of scenery. :smile:

I'm the same Les.

I can't even use that funny pad thing they have.

Of course my son got a lovely new Toshiba laptop for his birthday, but he knows his dad will never be asking to borrow it. :NoNo:
