Centrino Lappy for £365, did i do well?

I got an OUT OF BOX Acer TravelMate 4062LCi Centrino 740 1.73GHz 256MB 40GB CD-RW/DVD 15" WLAN (+ extra 256MB RAM) for £365.

Good purchase or not? The laptop was stated as OUT OF BOX, so it states some cables, drivers maybe missing. Could that mean the AC adapter could be missing? Either way, i was in need of a lappy and with my limited knowledge of them, i thought i did ok.

Well it's going for £534.95 (new fully boxed) elseware, and that's with 256MB. So as long as you got a charger and battery think you got a bargain.

Its a shame acers have such very poor build quality.

Providing it comes ok and it works fine you did well. Period.

Cracking spec for the price.

Well that's just grand. I always feel the need to get OCUKers opinions before i buy myself a pint, so this is the icing on the cake.

Cheers all, delivery is for Friday, so will let you guys know if i get a dud and if the battery/AC is included.

As for the Acer remark, tell me about it. My g/f's mate apparently closed the case of her Acer lappy a little harder than usual and the damn LCD broke! Looks like i'll have to pad the thing up with bubble wrap.
