Can this laptop efficiently run Windows 10?

Sorry this item is out of stock

Gutted just missed this. Ah well will need to stick with the acer tesco one I bought last night.

anyone else received this email

Due to unforeseen circumstances, we regret to inform you that you may not receive your order within the delivery timescale indicated on the website. We will contact you shortly to discuss the matter with you, in the meantime please accept our apologies for the potential delay.

Hope I still get one :S

Great for the price but the CPU is based off an Atom (Baytrail) as opposed to usual desktop/laptop chips, so won't perform as well. Consider it similar to Windows tablets, so okay for general tasks but not very future proof. Then again, what are people expecting for £150!? :-)

Yeah I did pay and collect to collect tomorrow and got that email. Maybe because it was because the collection date was too early next day?

Dear john

We are now preparing your PC World order for delivery..

Your order number: PCW**********


Pay & Collect (expected delivery date to store on Saturday 28 November 2015)
Small item(s)

Well done, to all those who got one.....bought this machine for my son, but returned it due to lack of performance. Fantastic machine for browsing & watching films but as soon as you open a couple of other applications together (eg Word and Powerpoint), it becomes sooooooooo slow (even after I removed Bloatware, optimised etc).

But then again, what else would you expect for £150.

Cortana doesnt work on this when upgraded to win 10. Says not available in region.

Same with my Dell. Acer works fine.

I require a laptop to download/read journals, write assignments, edit photos, download or stream the odd movie and transfer/convert files for tablet and kindle.

Will this be adequate please?

Got delivery date of Monday, thanks OP!

Rang Currys customer care and got a simple answer that they are running out of the stocks even you have placed the order. Only thing they suggested is to wait - no estimated in-stock time at all, or to get refunded. What a RUBBISH company!!

Yeah I called customer service and was told only option was to cancel order. Gutted.

Thanks

will it run these?

OS: Windows Vista, 7, 8, 10
Processor: Intel Pentium 4 Intel Core AMD Athlon 2.2GHz+
Memory: 2 GB RAM
Graphics: NVidia GeForce FX 5900 Ultra ATI Radeon 9800 Pro Intel GMA X3100 256MB VRAM
DirectX: Version 9.0c
Hard Drive: 3 GB available space

Thanks OP. Ordered this early this morning before work. Great deal. Thanks.

Thanks OP.

Anyone had a email saying there order has been processed? Mines should be available for collection tomorrow but haven't received a email.

Ordered this this morning (thanks OP!) but after reading some of the comments I'm now worried this won't be powerful enough for photo editing using Photoshop... Is anyone able to confirm either way, please?

Basically will it run football manager

Could be was just wondering as I haven't received an email since this morning also, hope it comes soon as I put collection for tomorrow.

Same here. Order confirmation at 06.46 then another email at 06.53 saying preparing for delivery and nil else since. Expecting next day store collection but who knows?

Yeah, should be fine.

Lots of people were probably holding out for a good laptop deal on Black Friday....this appears to have been the best one!

Thanks for posting! Now let's hope it comes to fruition...

One of the lucky ones... mine is with DPD to arrive within the hour.

Maybe those who requested home delivery will get it. Mine was next day store collection and have not heard anything yet.

Delivered this morning. Whoop

Called currys and they've said it's going to be delivered to the store today as planned.

Give them a call, as I hadn't received a email.

Rolls Royce = no / The best bargain of Black Friday 2015 = yes

Thanks. Just called them and they tracked the order to the store where it is awaiting collection.

Just collected mine and very happy with it. Thanks again Op!

I didn't receive an email to say it had arrived and apparently there was no way for them to log that it had arrived so they just looked out the back and completed a collection form by hand.

Received and just spent the last hour uninstalling all the bloat. After that, it runs fine. Granted it's not super-quick (HDD slows things up a bit) and a bit hefty to lug around but it's perfectly usable at home. With one RAM slot free and cheap SSDs this can be given a fairly big bump for not much.

My daily machine is an i7 HP Spectre ultrabook which was 6x the price but I could get along on this if I really wanted to. Great value for £150 - just debloat it and see.

Edit: forgot to say once I removed all the bloat, it was using 1.3gb/4gb after a clean boot on Win 8.1. That's a decent amount free (the low screen res saves a fair bit here).

Not upgraded to Win 10 yet as I plan on getting it set up with the essentials. Then, use Lenovo OneKey recovery, which works really well, to back up the install as an image. If Win 10 doesn't work out, it's a one click restore to the 8.1 image backup in 10-15 minutes.

Basically use the Control Panel > Uninstall Programs to uninstall most Lenovo stuff and everything with a shortcut on the desktop (PowerDVD director, Nitro, etc).

I left Lenovo dependency and OneKey recovery but that's about it.

Make sure you get rid of Super Fish which is spyware. There's also some Metro App equivalents that I uninstalled as well.

Here's my cleaned up list (I added AVG and VLC).

EDIT: contrary to a previous post I made, this laptop has only ONE slot. There were conflicting reports so I opened it up to confirm. However, you can get 1 x 8GB DDR3L if you want to bump up the spec for £25-30. Verified with Crucial as well: http://uk.crucial.com/gbr/en/compatible-upgrade-for/Lenovo/lenovo-g50-30

Thank you dealmeup. Much appreciated!

Some tips here too

Just picked mine up today...not showing on their in store system...but it was in the back all ready.

FWIW Win 8.1 booted with 1.3gb used vs Win 1.5gb so RAM seems fine unless you're planning on going heavy multitasking. Both seem the same doing similar tasks around the OS - not much performance difference between Win 8.1 (debloated and updated) and Win 10. The HDD predictably is a bit lazy at times but nothing major.

I've got both backed up at this point but I'm gonna stick with Win 10 and see how it goes.

Wow, picked this up today & I've gotta say - I know it was 'cheap' as far as laptops go, but I'm so underwhelmed that I find it hard to believe people enjoy using it now, let alone at the higher price point it normally retails for!

The optimum viewing angle is ridiculously narrow, the colours seem severely non-vibrant and patchy depending on where on the screen you're looking, and you can practically pick out the pixels that make up characters.

The set up takes forever (at least 20 minutes, or so it seemed), without any kind of progress bar to indicate where you're at in the process. They do give you this fabulous(ly annoying) colour-changing disco screen however, to get you in the party mood for the entirety of this set up..

Also, not being able to sign out of Outlook once you've set it up with your account details seems a bit of a security disaster.
I hate the thing, looking at it makes me feel like I'm using some ancient relic from many years ago (okay, it doesn't weigh >2kg, but visually the screen is so atrocious it genuinely angers me).

I kind of hate to say it, but my Kindle Fire provides a much better user experience!

£150 it may have been, but I'd rather send it back & buy £150 worth of real potatoes than have this spud sitting on my desk for any longer. [Or, you know, put the money towards a better laptop].
