Doubt it, whilst this is a 6th gen which is the latest generation of Intel CPU, it's built for power saving and battery life, so it's a reasonable balance of power and battery life. 2TB HDD well some one might need it in a laptop. 8GB RAM that'll almost never get fully utilised by the majority of users, the graphics won't get you gaming that well, but it will be a long long time before a laptop at £300 plays games well, of course it depends on the game, latest titles like The Division nah.
TL;DR
Seems about the best you can get for this price.
I work as a laptop refurbisher, as soon as you get this laptop, press F2 as soon as it boots up and do the in depth diagnostics, you can check battery, RAM and hard disk. If everything checks out ok then you should be good, if it fails on any of those three then send it back.

Where can I train to be a professional re-boxer? Do city & guilds run a course?

Depends what you want it for? It's a low power i5 with a slow hard drive and average screen.

The warranty puts me off a bit though.
Professionally huh?!
