Hello, we'd (my wife & I) would like to buy our 12yr old daughter a laptop for Christmas / well done for doing so well at school.
As these things are expensive we're limiting the budget to £330 and we've seen this one

It has a good spec and priced well. What puts me off is it'll be from PC World. When we visited there last week the sales guy pushed the £8 per mth care package. It seems pcs /laptops are not covered for software issues just hardware i.e if we installed something on the laptop which conflicted with the pre installed system and the laptop went pair-shaped it wouldn't be covered under warranty! I'd do a system restore before paying PC World £8 a mth or taking it back!
We would really appreciate any recommendations. We would rather buy from a store as if there were any issues we could take it back. The idea of posting it back to an online company and all the waiting etc is not agreeable.
Thank you in anticipation.
Seasons greetings
Richard
