Exterior same as the HP 260 G1 (Haswell 2957U) but has 4GB ram with 500 GB HDD (therefore must include the SATA cable) and has
Intel® Pentium® Processor 3558U

Basically its this model here
http://store.hp.com/UKStore/Merch/Produc...GwodLswLUg
RRP £270
I think theres a mistake on alternate site since HP is listing this model as only 2 USB2 and 2 USB3 ports
They accept Paypal, not sure what delivery on this will be
I think if its real then its a worthy upgrade no. Sata cable is £16, screws are worth £7, 500 HDD (7200) is £40 2GB ram is another £12
so if you minuses all the extra thats £97 (I've taken all the extras to compare to the HP 260 G1 celeron version) , the celeron version is going for £90 thats great.
How does the 3558U compare to 2957U? what can the pentium do with Kodi that the celeron haswell can't?
