you have to go on my bundle, I was looking for cycle to work and noticed it there, it had a questionnaire asking a few questions about how much People would be interest in sacrificing and which cars people would be interested in, it says starting soon, probably just another way of saving employer NI contributions,

No, I think too many people took part. Get a Chromebook, if you just want to browse the web, do a bit of banking etc, they are miles better than a windows machine.

i agree i got a chromebook, much lighter and cheaper and perfect if youre using it just for general web browsing, videos etc ... obviously you wont be able to play pc games on it, but laptops which can go for £1,000 +
I got the toshiba chromebook 2, very happy with it

Get a Windows 8.1 tablet for just over £60 they can play simple games and has word free for 1 year. Lighter than a chrome book, and it is a proper laptop with full Windows support.
