I got mine (signature edition) for £99 - a deal posted on here a few months back. For that price it's worth it however anything more than £150 is too much IMO.
Windows 10 upgrade was straight forward enough although a couple of workarounds were required. The issue is down to a lack of space.
My main niggle with this machine though is that it's top heavy so the machine tilts back when the screen is tipped back too far.

There are issues upgrading this to Win10 using automatic Get Win10 App. Automatic upgrade will fail due to limited amount of disk space. So to upgrade this device easiest solution is to create a Win 10 USB using MS media tool and do a clean install. As you have not actually done an upgrade instead a clean install Win 10 won't activate. On the new machine just get MS technical support on chat, they will take remote control of your machine verify the BIOS Win 8.1 key and then supply a new Win 10 key and activate windows. Win 10 drivers can be found on Acer Support site for this model can be installed. That's it.

Is there a reason why it shouldn't?
It states 'Free Windows 10 upgrade' on the site page.

Actually it will update to Windows 10 (lot of us here on hotukdeals have done it.
It's worth about £130 Max with the keyboard (2.5" hard drive can also be installed in the dock).
Certainly NOT worth £430 :-(

If a 2.5" drive can be installed in the dock then that makes it more desirable.

the way the upgrade was done on hukd was a ruddy nightmare of otr/blahblahblah/download this, mirror that, etc. i did it by attaching an external drive and changing download settings to that portable drive... did it in about an hour by pressing the microsoft win10 button... PLEASE, don't read the nerdy tech way of doing it... aside from that, the touchpad has a rattly feel when you press it, the thing is somewhat underpowered and hates bluetooth headphones for video play (in truth, it struggles, at least with me, with multiple chores running in the background while playing or streaming video concurrently, with the audio fading in and out... don't know if that's as you'd expect or just me with abberrant settings). that said, it's cute, the screen is great and the mag catches that connect the screen are sweet but feel a little like trapezing without a net so you tend to treat it a little more carefully, at least at first.
it's nice but not sure i'd pay 180 for it, however much amazon are charging (incidentally, why do people quote the most expensive price rrp they can find as a comparison? it's such a random way of 'proving' a bargain.)

I only had to navigate to the site where it allowed me to make a copy on to a memeory stick and then it give me the option to upgrade, so no need to call MS. However the chew was to unlock the bios to detect the memory stick.

I was kind of tempted until I read reviews. Heat added.

Tempted until I read Z3745. For £180 minus £150? No way this was £330

See http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/bush-eluma-b1-8-ips-quad-core-2gb-ram-32gb-windows-8-1-tablet-69-99-argos-2345370 for the Z3745 for £70, much better deal, IMHO
