Product title says 8gb of ram but the description says 16gb bit of a weird one, the CPU only supports 16gb max anyway.

The listing states only one is left btw so I doubt you'll be able to purchase this before money comes in to then purchase it. The cost of living payment is due to be released to the public starting from the 1st of November I believe.

As a universal credit bandit myself, I'd like to personally thank you for your contributions towards tax.

It’s just a joke

Where can I claim my free £300?

And by the looks of that bench mark you would be better off setting the money on fire and keeping warm this Christmas! (which I'm guessing is what the money is intended for anyway)

If you didn't use touch screen before, it is uncertain if you will end up using it in practice. I know a carpenter who uses touch screen pad to draw a room space layouts and enter in dimensions in a specialized program using a screen pen when he goes to estimate on custom built in cupboards, so he gets lots of use out of it. On the other hand, I have Asus AIO PC desktop PC with touch screen but never use it.

Sometimes I use my Dell 27" AIO touch screen computer tilting it back so it is almost horizontal and then if you stand at the table, you are like captain Kirk standing at spaceship controls. Coffee cup in one hand and with the other you can move through things like you would on a phone. The huge screen is just awesome being used like that. But the Asus doesn't tilt back too much and you don't want to get screen more messy than it gets as it is anyway.

Laptop would be different, maybe would be more useful if you could fold the keyboard under the screen 180 degrees and use it as a pad, then the touch screen would be more of use. Otherwise how would use draw pen if you can't rest your wrist on keyboard, can be awkward.

I purchased my laptop a year ago for £100, threw 16gb of ram in with a 1tb ssd. Runs perfectly fine for everyday use which is what I use it for.

Thanks, my mum had just cut my hair in that pic.

Can't believe I used light theme back then, I wouldn't be seen dead using the light theme now

Oh I'm jealous. I only get cost of living payments from my employer, one last year and one after Easter. They're going to give a third in some weeks.

Good luck to you Whoops. Dell is a great brand to use. I'm on a Geo laptop which is fine for the stuff I do on a Windows device.

Anyone know what the dark theme colour is ? Thinking of writing something in my signature that only light theme users can see.

I found it.

If you can read this, sort it out
