for £260 from Amazon.
What do you guys think? Anyone see any obvious and important omissions or weaknesses? The reviews seems OK on the whole (there's a few negatives and that's to be expected at this price) and there'd enough left over for a bag/accessories etc. and it's not the end of the world if it packs up after 18 months or he breaks it. I especially like the full keyboard with numeric pad which seems to be absent from many other machines we've looked at.

One thing occurs to me, we have a 3 licence copy of Office 2007 Home/Student which I'd intend to install on any new laptop. As with many others I've seen, this laptop comes with Office 2010 installed but not activated. Aside from taking up hard disc space, is this likely to cause any issues if I try to load the older version? Would I need to uninstall the supplied version first? Not very experienced at this sort of thing so feel free to patronise me and state the 'obvious'.
