anyone have this? any reviews? thinking of buying a similar one

Got one like this all round good. But battery size could have been bigger.

Get business laptop with A10-8700p, more powerful CPU and GPU, 8GB RAM for £290.

Downside battery life is only 3 hours.

You really do not want to pay £300 for i5 budget consumer laptops now.



If want i5-5200u, business laptop with i5-5200u is at £330.

Do not like Lenovo G, B, Z series, not good quality. Try start with E series. You will see the quality difference.



People got mis-conception about laptop price. Budget consumer laptop with i5-5200u, non-FHD screen is below £300 now. Do not still think the price in the past.

What laptop would you recommend for max price of £350 mate?

I was going to ask the same question but for £300

I know you ask for £350. But I do not know your usage to judge what is suitable. I will just give you everything.

For £200, go for one of the Two. They are refurbished consumer laptops. They are value options. They have enough power for normal day-to-day use.

I much prefer business laptops because they are better quality and long lasting compare to consumer laptop.

Below are all brand new business laptop.

Lenovo E50 with i3 and SSD. Currently sold out.


Probook 455 G3 with A10-8700P, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD for £310, or £290 after cashback. A10-8700P is more powerful than i5-5200U in both CPU and GPU. Downside, battery only last 3 hours.

Same for your too as above.

Pretty much agree with huangxq2, although I'd prefer the 5200u over the a10 as it is a fair bit quicker in most tasks, and sips power in comparison.
The GPU in the a10 is quicker, but not enough to convince you its built for gaming, although most games will play fine at 768. Only real advantage imo is full hevc decoder for .265 files, although kinda pointless imo on a laptop without a 1080p or 4k screen unless you connect externally.

A laptop without a ssd in this day is absolute terrible

downvoted

Good spec for this price, hot :smiley:

Also, ever since lenovo forcing crapware on users (hiding it in the BIOS), superfish, etc. I wouldn't personally recommend a newer lenovo laptop to anyone.

Selling my laptop in FS section if anyone interested.

Thanks
