OP: I can't help but think if you'd have gone for the pure specs rather than the marketing blurb that this might have done a bit better.

You're right, as a first time poster it was a schoolboy error on my behalf but I have amended, thanks!!

To be fair it does seem to be over 1k everywhere else. Not saying that's good value, though.
Using a ThinkPad at work that I really don't like, I'm not keen but my mate had the ultra slim one for work and it was a lovely thing - this seems to be somewhere in between.
Price seems good for the spec though, hot.

No problem. It's an error many people make on their first deal. Sadly HUKD doesn't really have a good way to manage large blocks of text in an easy to read way, so just pure specs generally is best. There's nothing to stop you replying to your own deal with the marketing stuff or even better using the quote function to list it as this is by default minimised but easy to access for anyone that wants to read it. It's also a great place to put links like you have to previous postings of the same item or links to reviews etc as they become clickable. It all helps to sell your deal to the masses in my experience.

That's an excellent price, paid more than that for my Dell 13 2-in-1 and this has way better specs and a real CPU not this CoreM nonsense.

What does it mean by win 7 and win 8?

Comes with 8 installed but the ability to downgrade to 7 I assume.

Usually that means the license for Win 8 is also valid if running Win 7, to be honest sticking with 8 would be pointless, you'd be better downgrading or upgrading to 10 (if the free upgrade is still available).
Lol, if you're keeping the machine near a power outlet or don't plan on using it for transatlantic flights, then i7 is probably good enough, benchmarks seem to suggest for single threaded workloads the 5Y71 version is actually almost as good as this i7 (25% slower if multithreading), but for less than 1/3 the TDP, not only for battery consumption, this is also significant in terms of heat. I've got both an i7 laptop and core M tablet, for day to day use (not encoding video or playing games) they seem comparable.
Personally I think this is almost the optimum tablet/laptop configuration, I almost always have my tablet attached to the keyboard, the extra screen size will be helpful running at that resolution - Windows scaling really isn't that great for high resolution smaller screens. You'll take a weight penalty and battery life will be lower but a pretty nice machine for the money.

Is there anyone who owns one of these who can comment as to the battery life? Reviews don't really say anything conclusive. Also I've read the screen isn't particularly good? Still tempted for the price.

Dont trust BOTASOJ, he lies a lot. I know him personally.

At this price I would probably rather go for an xps 13, it is actually lighter and smaller than this, albeit not convertible.
You can pick a new one for 800£ in a recent deal or refurbs from Dell from 500£ (the old gen was 450£ cheapest I have seen).
Not saying this is a bad deal or machine, as ThinkPad it probably has really good build quality, but I would personally go that route or buy a yoga 700 for less than half price of this if you want a convertible.
