I never said it wasn't a UK seller and probably shouldn't have started with "Yeah and, for reasons, I don't want to import from US", as that was extra details because I have to move out this house within 2 weeks and US would take too long to send out. The main point is i'm skeptical about auctions.

I have saw a lot of these between £100 - £200 but they all have problems or missing details, for example the one you posted, it doesn't specify which processor it's using, just says 3rd gen.
others have mismatching details from the URL description, 1st description, main description and technical details, or it has damage/marks and looks dodgy, so I don't trust them, or the seller hasn't contacted back answering questions yet. Maybe i'm too fussy, but I like to see the exact brand/model for each part when I am shopping.

I almost ordered another one that is supposed to be 3230M but instead it was 3320M, checking benchmark sites the 3230M performs better than the 3320M.

I've reported at least 50 different instances of false information on advertisement today, and honestly i'm sick of it...

I ended up just taking a chance on the following taking your advice and fairly similar deal because i'm f**king bored out my mind researching this shit now:

Specs:

Lenovo T530 15.6" Laptop, Intel I5 2.6Ghz processor (3rd Gen), 4GB RAM, 320GB HDD, DVDRW, Windows 7 Pro   - £150

Again, i'm fairly disappointed it just says "3rd gen" with no further detail but whatever, it's £80 cheaper than the other one I ordered and has a bigger screen, and it's for watching movies and workout videos anyway, and it will handle WA so I can lie in bed watching games.

You were right that I could find a better deal, but it's just f**king irritating when websites don't display information accurately especially when they are selling stuff, I spent like 8 hours today comparing prices, specs, details, damage, descriptions, seller reviews, and couldn't find 1 single product that was good in every way.

So whatever, i'm done lol, even if it's the worst kind of 3rd gen processor it will still meet my requirements and £80 cheaper than the previous one I tried, feel worse than a women in a f**king shoe shop now... Ugh!

So got the laptop, everything working great, the speakers aren't as good as i'd hoped, but will do it's good enough.

Surprisingly though, roping is pretty damn good with the spacebar it has, and also seems good for default schemes where you need more precision with arrow movement.

This laptop has a great keyboard, not sure what the big red button in the middle of it is for, perhaps it's for blind people to get their bearings right when typing, will go research it.

Edit - Oh sh*t! This is pretty cool! It's like another mouse in the middle of the keyboard and can magnify stuff as well! Also scrolls! I guess my theory was pretty stupid considering you have F&J for bearings anyway.
