If you have one there will be a hole and possibly a little led in the middle of the bezel above the screen.

Go in and tell them it doesn't have one.

According to their site it also has a Duel core processor though so I wouldn't hold my breath.

Return it and buy one from dell instead.

cant afford a dell. dont really need much spec tbh. just pissed off its supposed to have summit it aint got

Defo has a dual core acording to system properties, and 2gb ram.

for 299, i could see much more spec for the money.
