[BNM] Laptop recommendation

[John Cooper]

any thoughts on fujitsu?
I have a friend who needs a cheap laptop - ideally under £500
we found this in comet of all places
FUJITSU SIEMENS AMILO PI-2515
http://tinyurl.com/3ylfy2

it doesn't seem to come with any software so that could add another £120

should he steer clear or is this a bargain?
