AMD Radeon R6 is better than Intel HD 5500, comparable to 920M.
Decent CPU and GPU, especially consider the price.
The screen is non-FHD. It will be better than the screens of consumer laptops at the same price range. People who want FHD should consider increase budget. At this price range, you will not get FHD.
The weight is 2.26kg, normal weight for 15.6 inch laptop with DVD-RW.
Lower and cheaper version 455 at £200 after cashback and i5-5200 version 450 G2 at £330 also available. see floor 2.

A10-8700P is comparable to i5-5200u.

The laptop is new version, should be using 1.35V RAM only, cannot use 1.5V RAM. The crucial is low voltage, can be used in both 1.35v and 1.5v environment.
One question, why do you need 16GB RAM? Consider the rest of spec, 8GB RAM should be adequate.
if you're swapping the hdd for ssd, i'd recommend the samsung 840/850 evo and set it to rapid mode in samsung magician. good luck with your purchase

just as a note. when i did an m.2 addition for a friends 450 G2 there was no screw to hold the ssd in place. you'll have to source one from a pc/laptop repair shop (as i did) or use one from the wifi card

Bear in mind, system is Ubuntu 12.04, not Windows.
Both of them are the best value business laptops you can get with the money.
For people prefer i5-5200u, go for Probook 450 G2 at £330.

2.5 inch is cheaper, but HDD need to come out.
M.2 is more expensive, but HDD can stay. And M.2 can be a lot faster than 2.5 inch.
RAM go for Crucial 8GB 1600Mhz at £28 from amazon, good reviews. The laptop is most likely comes with Samsung RAM, but it would be too pricy for you buy the exact same one (£49). (Another reason I like business laptop, they use expensive components and built to last, not like consumer laptops.) Amazon is good so if you ever have RAM compatiablility issues.
