Re: [ubuntu-uk] Windows Free Laptops

extra for the normal HDD version. I'm all for solid state, even if it's only 8gb, but the ssd in my aspire one is painfully slow. Even doing fairly trivial things sometimes causes the ssd activity light to just stay on solidly and the laptop freezes for a few seconds (and it's not swapping. 0k swap used). Updates on it are a nightmare because they take so long and pretty much render it unusable until they're complete.

If, as you say, it's built from the cheapest possible parts then it's very likely that they've used a no-name "high wattage" power supply which are known for causing problems. A quad core processor and 8800gt gfx card aren't going to be low power either.
