I think very poor processor is stretching it a little.

Seems like a good deal

Just so people know. This i7 is a dual core CPU with hyperthreading.

Good price still heat added

Nvidia GT820M? I thought the Z51 comes with AMD R9 M360/M375 graphics. Can't find the model number on the website

Model number anyone?

How do you expect me to vote if i don't know the processor? There is a massive difference between I7 processors and you need to add the model i7-4510U

Oh and its a very poor processor - sry cold

Going by Lenovo website. It looks like a customised Z51-70

Missed a flamedeer on here... clicked back to fast when it popped out.! :disappointed:

Sorry guys, posted this via my mobile so couldn't copy and paste all the specs. Best laptop deal I have seen in a while especially as it's fhd and includes a 3 year warranty

Yes it's a poor i7 but I'd like to see someone find a better deal with a hybrid drive, full hd 15" and these specs. Not to mention 3 year warranty. Hot deal.

cpu is a dual core haswell.

I'd say considering the spec, even though it's an i7-4510U this is still very hot for the money. The i7-4510U is still a high-mid range CPU and the rest of the laptops spec reflects that, also full HD screen. Hot.

https://www.cpubenchmark.net/mid_range_cpus.html It is by no means a bad CPU - it is closer to a higher end i5 in terms of power, but this is also a low power consumption i7 meant for ultrabooks.

got me tempted and I don't even need one lol

somebody asked for a better deal, here it is in my opinion:

http://www.johnlewis.com/asus-x555la-laptop-intel-core-i7-8gb-ram-1tb-15-6-black/p2307189

ok, doesn't have the dedicated graohics processor, only really useful for hardcore gamers, or the 8gb ssd, only really speeds up boot, but an alround better cpu, lenovo does not seem to have a particularly good build reputation whereas asus are probably middle of the road, i would look more closely at battery life and screen quality before deciding, yes they are both fhd, but are the tn, (bad), or ips, (good)

and heres another better deal in my opinion, again has a better cpu, though not as good as the asus above, and has the 8gb ssd, though no dedicated graphics processor, and of course is cheaper

http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B016B90WR4?tag=hotukdeals03-21

in my opinion the most important thing to look at is the cpu, very difficult to upgrade, gpu not so difficult, then the screen quality, again probably stuck with it for the life of the device, next ram, usually easily upgradable but can be 50-100 quid, finally storage, cheap, easily upgradeable, many cheap alternatives, cloud, flash drive, etc, but dont forget battery life, if your going to want to use without mains power for a length of time this is crucial, and ad with car fuel consumption, take the manufacturers claims with a big pinch of salt

I'd say the deal in the op is better than this.

Yep me too

here are, in my opinion two good sites for comparing cpu's and gpu's, the first on for overall ranking, and the second for a more detailed vs a vs comparison:

http://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Processors-Benchmark-List.2436.0.html

http://www.game-debate.com/cpu/index.php?pid=2392&pid2=2281&compare=core-i5-6200u-2-3ghz-vs-core-i5-5200u-2-2ghz

both sites have data for cpu and gpu, the second one allows you to compare cpu and gpu combinations, though its worth bearing in mind the specs might be great but the overall build of the device might limit the performance, computers and their components are commodity driven, and will often be put together based on availability and cheapness of components, not necessarily optimised for compatibility and performance

heat from me --- not buying as I want a 13.1 ish laptop

You really think that losing dedicated graphics is worth a marginally better CPU?
http://i.imgur.com/qhftslV.png

also on the Amazon laptop you posted it has a 1366 x 768 screen - sorry but neither of those are better deals.

Surely this i7 has to be better than any i5?

Has anyone got this laptop? Is it a good build?

i would happily lose the gpu for a better cpu because i am not a hardcore gamer, it will add very little to my experience of the machine, if you want to play the latest games at the highest res possible go with the lenovo

as far as the acer is concerned it says full hd in the description, i agree the specs list is non specific though

darn it. If only the CPU was a bit better. This would have been a wonderful laptop.

to anyone who owns one... what is the battery life like? i know it says upto 4hrs, but is that realistically possible.

I dont like fingerprints on the screen, but kids would prefer a touchscreen.
Good value I think. Hot esp with 3 year warranty.

It's a competition just click on the deer to collect them. If you go to the top of the screen to the green bar, click More and then Flamedeer from the drop down menu.

Poor battery

why would I google this laptop, the amazon description is" A Full High-Definition panel boasts six times as many pixels as DVD-like quality " am I missing something?

and I agree a graphics card is not just for gaming which is why I said it would add very little for me, and certainly not as much as the better cpu, for me?

Because you're saying it's a better deal, I'd assume if you're trying to suggest better laptops for similar money they would be better laptops. The processors really aren't that much better than the i7 in the OP according to benchmarks. Getting an exact screen resolution number also helps get past the marketing slang of what counts as "full" HD in that instance, as it appears to be 1366 x 768 on other sources. I just see a lot of speculation and I think it's unfair to paint those laptops as objectively better deals when they aren't.

The processor in the OP isn't a bad processor, it's an ultrabook processor - that delivers comparatively good performance for the power it's using. When you're buying a laptop surely battery life savings and lower generated heat are decent factors to consider?

Would you recommend this for our son for Christmas for school work/internet browsing/YouTube? Not a big games player. £500 is our Mac budget but I'd like to buy from John Lewis due to a past bad experience at PC World.

Does it go on the line?

I’m in the market for a replacement PC, basically to cover internet use, MS office suit work some photo editing and light video editing, no gaming. But having got used to an IPad I want something with a fairly fast response time, a decent screen and reasonable battery life (say 4 hours on general use).

Ignoring the price differential how does the spec on the above deal compare with the one below in terms of meeting my requirements?

http://shop.lenovo.com/gb/en/laptops/lenovo/u-series/u41/

I realise the screen size is different. I’m not bothered about touch screen features.

Is this fast for rendering edits ? Daughter moans hers is to slow and needs a better graphics card on her present laptop, a HP. Thank you for any advice.

still haven't got a clue why you don't accept this is fhd according to the normally accepted fhd resolution measurements, it says it on amazon description and the company blurb clearly says its an option, who cares what you have seen elsewhere, only you, accept the link I gave as the link to the suggested better machine

I clearly gave it as a better machine in my opinion with reasons, they remain valid despite your alternative opinion, the only one trying to be objective here is you, as with most tech objectivity when a diverse set of considerations are involved is impossible, allow people their subjective opinions so long as clearly marked as such with reasons

Guys...I'm looking for a laptop that is good for gaming editing etc for a 15 yr old...was looking at msi gaming laptops but only want to spend about £600...I'm also confused could a decent spec i5 be better than a low end i7..and also what do I need to look out for..?..any ideas of any current deals...please help..it's for Xmas...!..

I bought this laptop about a month ago and have been happy with it. I'm not a big gamer or computer tech, but for me it performs much better than the Dell Inspiron 1545 I've upgraded from (yes I know that's a far older machine & older processor etc etc etc). It's quick & easy to use and copes with me having multiple graphics based programmes operating - which my old one didn't.

Battery life is fine. Not amazing, but laptops don't seem to be these days. I've not timed it, but I've not found it annoyingly slow.

The one thing I would say is I find the screen a little fuzzy at times. I think this is just me as anyone else who looks at it says it's perfectly clear, so I'm guessing it's something to do with my eyesight.

My computer tech friend recommended this to me as a good purchase with good specs for the price paid. another of his friends (who is more computer savvy than me) also bought one at the same time.

i'm my what feels like a lost attempt at finding a better deal for the spec i found this asus http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/asus-x555lj-dm342h-was-549-97-now-479-97-save-laptops-2346967 only a few quid cheaper, but those in the know could maybe tell me the £30 extra for ssd and 3 years warranty are well worth it in favor of lenovo!

Looks a reasonable price.

Would it ever come to the UK?

Thanks. I have been waiting for a decent offer to come up on a laptop capable of reasonable gaming for around this price. Not the best (a few bad reviews on Amazon) but John Lewis backed with a 3 year warranty can't be too risky.

Is this probably the best you'll do for gaming at this kind of price?

Great spec for the price

was about to go for it. not bothered about gaming. usually do work and films on laptop and browsing etc. All seemed to good to be true until I realised its a TN display. Would avoid just for that. for me screen is top of the list.

I have ordered this but looking at the Lenovo site there is one with an i5 (newer than the i7 I think) and better graphics card for about the same price, although with only 1 year warranty. So maybe not as good a deal as I thought unless I am missing something

http://shop.lenovo.com/gb/en/laptops/lenovo/z-series/z51/

Earn no. Quite a few i5 processors wipe the floor and make this i7 look silly.

I've got the Z50 with identical specs to this. For the price it's acceptable, it's best considered a high-end office browsing machine.
I wanted something with a FHD screen, the brightness and contrast are fine, maybe good for a TN. The viewing angles are terrible. Absolutely terrible.
There's a uefi whitelist for some of the hardware so upgrading that poor wifi card is out of the question unless you're particularly technically minded (hardware eeprom writer).
The build quality isn't wonderful but it's not awful either. Some parts feel flimsy, and the silver finish on the back of the screen had worn badly in a couple of months just from being taken in and out of a laptop bag.
The GPU is a waste of time frankly. CSGO is barely playable with min settings at 720p so don't expect to play any A+ titles from the last year or two.
A single USB3 is a shame, but usually workable.

Not voting either way as for some people it's not a bad buy but I know I won't be buying lenovo again after this.

In the same sort of price range I'd consider something like this laptop from pcspecialist. The 6th gen i3 is about as capable as THIS 4th gen i7. The better battery, GPU and screen would make it a winner for me. Even if it is an extra £30 to have the 8GB RAM and 1TB hd.

i own a lenovo flex 2 15, which is almost the same but with an i5 instead of i7, battery life is pretty terrible. Everything else is ok for moderate use

How bloody arrogant is this guy. Theyre not your servant ffs. It's a sharing site, find out yourself!!!!!

I see the irony in what you posted....

guys go for the hp deal (HP Pavilion 15-an001na) much better in the gpu department

jUST GOT THE LAPTOP TODAY AND NOTICED THE PROCESSOR IS A INTEL I7 5500U AND THE GRAPHICS IS A AMD R7 SO I GUESS ITS THE NEW VERSION THEY WERE SELLING....NOT TOO SURE sorry caps lock

Was going to buy this today:(

I procrastinated about buying this until nearly 1am, luckily it was still at the deal price at that time, i guess the system changes in the early hours etc.

yes just £6 extra but I'm a impatient kinda guy

Yup

I'm not sure how much better that processor is or the graphics card but I assume it must be better and not worse can some one shed some light on the subject?

r7 M360.... is it any good?

I am certainly no expert but according to the net "The performance of the R7-M360 is slightly above the slower clocked Radeon R7 M260 (64-bit model) and silimar to a GeForce 920M."

It's certainly better (and newer) than what was advertised. I don't know how much difference it will make. Could you tell what the processor and graphics card were without opening the box?

EDIT : According to these user benchmarks it looks like the AMD is significantly better being ranked 65th out of 500 for speed compared to 234th for the GeForce. I certainly hope mine is shipped with what you got.

http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GeForce-820M-vs-AMD-R7-360/m9527vsm30045

yes its written on the box

Yes the processor is written on the box the graphics card is a sticker on the laptop I think this is the newer uprated version of the laptop

It's the 360. Picked mine up today and to chuffed to find out it's the newer z51-70/

Mine bought a month ago:
i7 5500U CPU @240ghz

I'm not sure how to check the graphic card details, but the sticker says AMD

So tell me please is it much better than the old spec? I don't know much about this actually

Looks like we are all getting these newer beauties!!!

I was tracking this earlier on but decided against it. Today I saw one in store in John Lewis and while it looked nice I thought the panel viewing angles were poor. Has anyone found this to be the case?

People received their laptops yet?

Nice

Anyone who go this care to share what its like?
