Great spot, I looked but didn't see it. As suspected, it is not brand new. Looking on the PC World website you have to laugh:


I have personally witnessed one of their "experts" in action. They examined a laptop I was interested in that had had a slide in battery put in the wrong way round and had got wedged. They tried to prise it out with a screwdriver then took to holding the laptop with both hands and whacking it repeatedly side on against their knee to get the battery back out. Which it did, crashing onto the floor.

They then brought the laptop and battery out to me with a smile and deluded expectation that I would still buy it. No thanks.

nice laptop nice resolution for a 15 inch screen

1366 x 768 is a normal resolution for this price of laptop. You would be paying £100 - £200 for a Full HD one with similar specs.

I didn't say it wasn't a good deal, just that it's not a "nice" resolution.

I only paid £350 for a HP Envy 15 with full HD screen, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD, 8GB SSD for OS to boot from, AMD A10-5750M Quad Core 2.5GHz (3.5GHz with boost) with Radeon HD 8650 2GB GPU, plus all the gimmicks such as Fingerprint Reader, Backlit Keyboard, 4 USB 3.0 ports etc... Literally annihilates the specs on this for an extra £50

It's a decent deal if you're after a cheap laptop for your little sister or your Nan perhaps.

Nought wrong with that resolution on a small 15" screen as its HD resolution.

​
It's standard though, nothing special at all. There have been much better deals for this price.

For the spec, considering it's a low power i5, this is standard now
