Amilo A vs Tiny c825 PLEASE HELP!

[bmoviebob]

Yesterday I ordered the Tiny and now I am having doubts as I have heard many good things about the Amilo. I will use the laptop mainly for photography and music (this is why I initially ordered the tiny due to the inbuilt 2.1 speakers. I would appreciate any kind of feedback from users of either machine or advice from those that know. PLease help me make the right decision. Budget 1K.

Tiny are offering a heck of a deal at £799 (No monitor). See www.tiny.com and plug in their e-code 01182. Their service rep is terrible though :-{

iam getting the AMILO A , not sure if iam gonna get the extra on the processor and hdd.

will be orderin it after me holiday in portugal, which i fly out to tomm evening.

all i hear about tiny is the Customer service is rubbish

havent heard that many bad things about the AMILO A apart from dead pixels which i think is a lottery,,, and also the system sayin the processor speed is 799mhz etc which is resolved with some update. ( i think i got my facts right )

apart from dead pixels which i think is a lottery

... and you can send it straight back if you do have 'dead pixels' ... customers have rights.
