Hello Quinnicus, Thanks for reply. Great shame they have dropped out of market, especially as they were actively selling at Christmas (when I purchased a new Vaio for my wife)!
As to what brand I should now buy, I appreciate your saying that it is very much a personal thing and what you need it for. My needs are very simple in that I use Microsoft Office, emails and the Internet and would like a largish clear and bright screen. The Internet would primarily be used for research activities. The two that have caught my eye so far are the Lenovo (can be a bit pricey) and the Acer.
Anyway, thanks for your response.
Kind regards,
Gyron
