The CPU is not bad for the system & the price, my main concern (& I say this ignoring the price) is the RAM. 2GB definitely needs upgrading. However, when you factor in the price & the CPU (no idea about the screen quality, which should be an important factor to consider), I think its an awesome deal for a casual laptop.
Overall, a MUCH better deal than some posted over the past few days.

I have one!
Using it now actually. I gave £124.99 for mine in Nov from Argos running Windows 8 and upgraded it with a free upgrade to Windows 10 (a horror story to do because of lack of free space)
Good little laptop for casual use and light office use.
Things to bear in mind :-
* From what i can tell you cant upgrade the memory
* From what i can tell you cant upgrade the main drive.
* You can add extra storage via the SD card slot though.
* Storage space is TIGHT. Theres very little left with Windows 10 on there.
* Decent enough display - i've watched 720p movies no problems.
Its not slug slow by any means, but likewise dont overload it.
Think of it like a city car - nimble around town for the purpose it was intended, but load it up or long motorway runs and its going to struggle.

what's battery life like?
Think of it as like a linx tablet with an attached k/board. there is a review of this on notebookreview/check IIRC - have a look at that before making up your mind.

There won't be much hard drive space left because you will still have the recovery partition for 8.1 taking up a massive 5.8gb space. What you need to do is make a system image back up of the windows 10 OS onto a usb drive and then boot it from usb. It will then install a fresh windows 10 without the Lenovo bloatware and it will remove the windows 8.1 partition. You will have up to 20gb of space after the install.

Battery life is very good - by virtue of the fact it doesnt have a moving hard disk to power or a power hungry processor.

This one or this one http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/lenovo-yoga-300-11-6-intel-cel-2gb-32gb-convertible-laptop-win10-webcam-ac-wifi-2390122 though
I wish they'd just stick 4GB in these. For a few extra quid I don't know why they don't and would future proof it a bit.
Agree on memory but this will do for the odd night away.
