Thanks for the advice. Decided to spend an extra fiver to get the Kingston V200, will see how it goes.

Can someone tell me what speed the SATA controller is in the dm1-4020sa? I am looking to buy a SSD for it but don't know whether to pay extra for the Kingston V+200 which is SataIII or whether I'd get no benefit over the slightly cheaper SanDisk Ultra which is SataII.

I think the **** spec on battery life is wrong - it's an identical machine except the HDD size. I got the 4020sa a few weeks ago and battery life on power saver mode is around 8 hours on mine. Here's the HP specs on the machine...

I was worried about the frequent reports of fan noise from the Lenovo - though I tried one out in a shop and I have to admit it wasn't noticeable in a store environment. But I don't need the CPU power the Lenovo offers (last laptop had a single cell celeron and was fine) so decided to pay £100...

Agreed - there seems to be 2 models based on the AMD processor, one with a 320GB hard drive the other with 500GB. *** *** ** The mentioning or hinting name of competitors is strictly prohibited. As too is their pricing - Please read FAQs regarding rules **

One wonders how ****** got hold of them if HP didn't intend them to sell it. HP told me that the dm1-4020sa would not be available in the UK but then a couple of days later ***** were selling it, so I really don't understand how they got hold of that either. ** The mentioning or hinting...

I am inclined to agree that these PCs are identical in specification. The HP product spec for this PC indicates the 4027ea has identitical graphics to the 4004sa: http://h20195.www2.hp.com/v2/GetPDF.aspx/c03047946.pdf. So does the 4027sa: http://h20195.www2.hp.com/v2/GetPDF.aspx/c02985059.pdf...

You're right. Sorry for the scare -** Linking to competitors is strictly prohibited - Please read FAQs regarding rules ** Not sure what precisely is the difference between the DM1-4004sa and the DM-4027sa now!

PC components always go down in price, so don't feel too bad about it - you've had longer usage of it than someone purchasing now. Plus it's still a great PC for £349. The DM1-4027sa has the AMD Radeon HD 6310 whilst the DM1-4004sa has the AMD Radeon HD 6320 - I'm told there's very little...

If anyone is thinking about buying this, the DM1-4004sa is available direct from HP for £296 delivered with a 10% discount through vouchercode.co.uk; the code is valid until Wednesday. Very good deal in my view. Think the 4004sa has a marginally improved graphics card over the 4027sa.

Thanks - I'll give that a go. I had formatted the USB to ntfs so this is worth a try.

I have this laptop and I'm happy with it. Whilst I paid less than £300 for it at PC World I think at £350 its still good value compared to an Atom netbook which would only have a lower resolution, 10" screen for starters (not to mention less RAM, smaller HDD, etc). I am having problems...
