Acer Windows 8 laptop.
Is anyone in the market for a mint, 11 month old Acer laptop? A friend from France bought it at the back end of last year to replace his old Dell one, not realising that Windows 8 is sooooo different to XP/Vista! He dabbled with it for a week or so.....then gave up!
I'm meeting up with him next week and he's asked me to sell it for him. I do know he paid around £350 for it and it has a 15.7" screen....I'll have the full spec sometime tomorrow! It doesn't have the original packaging with it, but everything it came with is all present and correct. He'd like to get around £225 back for it, but any sensible offer considered. Pete

Yep, he tried that on my advice, but still couldn't get on with it! He's bought a new one with Windows 7, loves it to bits!
