Oh I really thought you could get 4K laptop with dedicated graphics and i7 for £119. Well disappointed now thanks.

Got to be hot for £99 if you include that £20 store credit. Nice find!

+1.05% TCB

I got one two weeks and paid just under full price. Well worth that!

I got one a few months back from Isme. same price. well worth it

I bought the 14" version from Argos. It cost me £95. Lovely machine and was singing its praises on here but having had it for some time I have stopped using it completely. The eMMC drive is not upgradable. Its soldered on to the mainboard. I upgraded to Windows 10 using a SD card. Slow as hell after. Only useful for web browsing. Took it on holidays but it just kept freezing on a slow wifi connection. The 11.6 inch version might be a better bet but beware it has serious limitations unless u simply want to check emails and look up things on the net.

Not a bad deal. Heat added.

Ordered for my daughter for Xmas. Can you download and play sims 4 on this?

The big question to me is can the Office 365 licence be sold on ebay or is it just an enable it version. If it can be I would get one , if not then no point as I would want to install Chrome OS on it.

It's OOS

Great price, and a good buy if you are after an ultra-mobile low power laptop to run Office.
We have and love the similar specced Asus X205TA, so a brief summary may help:
The 32GB flash RAM is slower than an SSD, faster than an SD card
You should budget for a 32GB SD card to extend storage
You can upgrade to Win 10, but you'll need that SD card and it'll take an age to do
The N2840 cpu in this has a passmark of 1067, so it's not fast, but ok for Office 365 and browsing.
This device's strengths are: low price, 1.3kg weight, small size and good battery life.
It's Microsoft's answer to the Chromebook but with the usual Windows user interface and functionality.
Worth noting the Asus X205TA is 980g, while the HP is 1.3kg ...

Very good deal.

Hi I've been looking at this for my daughter would this be any good for her to use for homework / youtube etc

1366 x 768

good deal .Heat added

Hmm tempted

I got a 14 inch used for £125
Unsure why people are saying they needed a hard drive or SD card to upgrade I managed to do it with the eMMC. Great for the price, just as good as a £300/400 laptop if not better

Dam! Just bought the 'Pro' version from CCL for £138! Mind you i like that it is black! Annoying that wasn't Windows 8 Pro as supposed to be though! Ah well...I'm typing this on it now and it is a really nice device! I've upgraded to Windows 10 and then done a fresh install...it seems to run loads smoother on W10...great little device...annoying that W10 won't let you move OneDrive to SD card though....I've just moved all my stuff over to GoogleDrive as this is the only one of Dropbox, OneDrive and GoogleDrive that let you save to SD card.

Great price. I paid £175 for it two months ago. Only issue is that it cannot upgrade to Windows 10 because the HD is too small, even after a fresh install.

To be fair, free Google Docs is more than adequate for homework!

Thanks, op. Heat added. I'd like to have one but will wait until the blue version is availible.

Comes down to file compatibility though, no alternative I've found yet formats exactly the same. Close, but there is always some faffing around...
If required, and don't want to continue to pay for 365, just revert to the free on line version of office, and tie it to your One drive...

Can u print from this

I have windows 10 on mine. I upgraded by installing from sd card. Though I assume there are probably other ways.

Ends up with more space as windows 10 doesn't need the recovery partition.

How is this for Netflix and kodi?

Does the £20 windows store gift card come in the box?

and is it for apps im guessing and not hardware from the microsoft store?

Can the gift card be used on the xbox store ?

Thanks :smiley:

Is this suitable to play minecraft . Thanks

Hi would this be suitable for a small child to play a few games watch netflix etc please?

Great thanks

What type of sd card would be best for using for windows 10 upgrade?

Thanks

Hi is this oos or what? Just tried to order blue o e and tells me payment is pending via PayPal?

can you run libreoffice on this machine

Thanks :smiley:

I found on another 32GB machine that it wouldn't upgrade - not enough space. When adding an SD card and directing the upgrade to use the SD card, the upgrade went without a hitch.
Not doubting you, but would be grateful for a link of how to upgrade a 32GB machine without extra storage?
Thanks

Hi all,

For those of you who have received this laptop from Microsoft - was there any visible differences on the box or the laptop itself which differentiate it as a "signature edition"? The reason I am asking is that I want to order for my dads birthday which is today but the delivery time is quite long... I was going to buy from argos and then return the item I receive from microsoftstorento argos, therefore paying the cheaper price. Argos would take it back as long as the box was unopened wouldnt they?

No, I think they would know by the bar code.
Just order it from MS and save yourself hassle.

I updated an ASUS EeeBook X205TA (Argos refurb) - which also has 32GB storage) straight out of the box. Able to download and install programmes and apps on it without problems.

Perhaps you just have too much installed on it? Have you tried offloading installed programmes / apps to a USB / portable HDD, and then updating?

Does anyone know how to use the gift card. its just a little booklet no code or anything.

Blue one is back in stock if anyone still wants one

unreal deal, should be hotter!!!

Ordered in blue amazing price thanks op should be a lot hotter than it is

Ordered the blue one on Thursday, now in transit (currently Germany) for delivery Monday. Have some belated heat.

Out of stock now :disappointed:

Thats all anyone that buys this laptop should expect at this price point
If you bought it for anything else you need to do more research before your next purchase!

Snapped up a pink one, its great for college, basic tasks like browsing and word processing! Easy to carry as well as its not too big yet not too small.

Wouldn't let me buy it, it says out of stock now. Any chance it will come back into stock at this price?

Okay, thanks mate, I'll keep an eye on it.

Ordered the blue yesterday listed as in stock money authorised from my credit card straight away and email received. But I've just logged onto the Microsoft store to see if it's been dispatched but it's showing as BACKORDER I'm guessing it was never in stock and it won't be here next week after all ? Dose anyone else know what this means

I ordered the Magenta colour on Wednesday night, and also just went to check delivery status and mine says backorder too. Really hope it does come next week as I bought it for my daughters birthday.

Mine is on backorder as well, not in a hurry so might hold out.

The laptop doesn't seem overly easy to upgrade to Windows 10. I tried it when I received it and it failed twice because of lack of space and I've tried it a couple of times using a USB drive for the extra space but it's not having it. I'm reasonable with technology and I can't find a way round it so will contemplate returning it unless I can find a solution that doesn't involve registry amendments and others that I've found on the web.

I did vote hot incidentally as it's a fantastic price!

Mods, this deal needs unexpired. Back in stock.

Thanks very much indeed, it's reverted back to it's pre update state so what I'm trying now is downloading the update onto USB on another laptop and will try to run it off that. I presume when it has downloaded to the USB and I execute the file it will give me the option to do as you say

Defo out of stock, plus cancelling orders. Ours has just been cancelled that we ordered last week.

Why did it come back into stock if they are cancelling orders? That makes no sense!

Just received the cancellation email . Hope the refund doesn't take long . Shame as was a Xmas prezzie for my middle one .

I'm trying to find a replacement as the order I placed for my daughter has been cancelled. There seem to be numerous magenta versions available - 11-d 009/011/016/063na - Sorry if this is a daft question - I have tried to google it and it just pulls up reviews, all of which I've compared but I can't see any obvious difference. Could anyone in the know please advise if there is a difference and if so what it is?

Hey guys,

I guess a lot of people had their orders cancelled like me. The cancellation email had a £10 voucher for Microsoft store on it which I didn't pay a great deal of attention to at first as I didn't think it would be worth much, however I've just investigated and they sell £10 Xbox live cards (for £10, free shipping), so I've entered my code and viola... free £10 Xbox card!

So if anybody else has received the £10 gift voucher code and hadn't planned on using it, then go for one of those. Something for nothing! Even if you don't have an xbox, you'd be able to sell it on ebay/FS boards here if you could be bothered, or give it to pretty much any person between the ages of about 7-20 (donate it to your local school for their raffle) and they'll love you forever!
