Well, ark.intel.com lists the Atom x5-Z8350 as "products formerly Cherry Trail". >I wondered what possessed you to buy it, going on specs and 'manual'? >and what the '32GB Storage' might denote. Good thing you could return >it. For reference, just how cheap are they in AU? Something cheap and cheerful as a portable to play on - there wasn't enough information available online to determine whether it would be usable outside Windows. Aldi's "no questions" returns policy was one of the things that swayed me to try it. It was AUD249 but I've found something by "Pendo" for AUD229 that looks like it came off the same production line. I hadn't realised just how weird the insides of some "PC compatible" computers had become. -- Peter Jeremy
