Lastest gen i3-6100U, quite powerful for an i3 U version. Score higher than i5-5200u is to my surprise.
Integrated HD Graphics 520 GPU is quite good for an integrated. I have read somewhere it is better than AMD Radeon R6. I could be wrong.
4GB RAM is small, but cheap and easy to upgrade.
The screen is non-FHD.
128GB M.2 SATA SSD is using the M.2 slot. It has been confirmed that you can put in a 2.5 inch HDD for storage.
Win 7 Pro is a plus too.
Pay £350 upfront. can claim 125 + 50 cashback. If all sucessful, work out £175. See reply 1 for cashback details.

A lot people seem have questions about cashback. I give a little summary below hope to clear things up. They are from last time I read it. I have not re-read, please double check and let me know if anything changed.
£50 cashback.
Straight cash, not string attached. Apply 30 days from invoice date.
HP need to know two things, how much you paid for, and confirmation of model no: 450 G3 - P5T14ET.
They need to a scan of your invoice when you apply. If 450 G3 - P5T14ET is not on invoice, you will need to upload a photo of the sticker on the box showing 450 G3 - P5T14ET as well.
£125 trade-up cashback
Apply straight away after you got your invoice. There is no brand restriction. You can give HP your old device in whatever brands.
If you are claiming as individual end user, answer as follows:
Are you a UK VAT registered business? answer No.
Customer Type, answer "Small Business (1-10 staff)".
The conditions are:
1. Trade-in device must be fully working conditions. Any part not working, HP will take money off.
2. Tablet not less than 9 inch, laptop not less than 10 inch.
3. If you trade in PC/laptop originally comes with Win XP, no age restriction.
If you trade in PC/laptop originally comes with system other than XP, no more than 6 years old.
Cheapest way, you have an old one not needed.
The next is by a xp laptop off ebay for £20-30, a lot work because you have to make sure everything is fully function (battery etc).
The easiest way if you do not have an old device, is to buy a 9 inch tablet for less than £50, you only need to make sure the tablet is fully working. 2nd hand cheap ones especially those from China, or Nook HD+ from CeX.

I opened the back and can confirm there is a SATA connector for a HDD.
There is a free SATA connector, you can buy a 2TB 2.5 inch HDD for around £50 and put in for storage. You can have both 128GB SSD and 2TB HDD at the same time.
Model number is 450 G3 - P5T14ET Individual end users can claim both cashbacks on one laptop. It has always been the case in the past. HP never ask a question.

I see the trade-in cashback terms were better at the time of your post. Then, you could trade-in any old XP machine of any age. If I could do that now I'd be going for this new deal.

This Elitebook is nice too. It is only let down by underpowered A6. It may be ok for some day-to-day tasks.
This new probook i3 is more than twice powerful than the A6, much more capable, plus integrated HD Graphics 520 GPU is more powerful.
The Elitebook has 900 resolution is a plus. Is the Elitebook cashback still available?

Do you have to purchase direct from HP in order to claim the various cash back offers as it is cheaper elsewhere. thanks

No, you can buy from anyone, unless the cashback page states from particular seller. I have seen cashback only available to purchases from ebuyer.
This models does not limit to any seller. So should be fine to purchase from elsewhere.
Make sure the mode is exactly right as 450 G3 - P5T14ET.

Is it definitely a G3? I'm looking at the site and it says the G3 is £500, while this link has no G3 label on it

16 Mar 16#14
P5T14ET is G3.
It is also clearly stated on the cashback page.
I am not aware 450 G2 has i3 6th gen. i3 6th gen should be G3.

G3 or G2 doesn't matter. What really matters is P5T14ET

It says "Purchases must be made between 24th November 2015 and 29th February 2016" in the how it works section. Anyone claimed it for a March purchase?
