No, they charge £10 for their time in doing it. Nobody twisting anyones arm to pay it.
Its a good deal - anything cheaper has DE or US keyboards.
Excellent series of laptops, I'm still using an X220 and with an SSD & 8GB of RAM it flies along. Not brilliant for games, but then again they were never designed to be gaming machines.

Not sure this deal is any better or worse than their other deals. They are an excellent seller though and I have bought numerous laptops off them. On a couple of occasions I have received better than described I both condition and spec, but never worse. Highly recommended as a seller, but not voting either way for the price

Considering most tablet laptops at 150 quid ish are scorching hot here I thought people would like a proper laptop, an i5 option, outdated slightly yes but still a decent amount of power, certainly better than alot of these extremely weak processors we see today in budget tablets/laptops
Seller is great yea, bought stuff off them and they've been amazing

So they charge £10 for the free upgrade to Windows 10

I guess they charge 10 quid for doing it for you, so it comes pre-installed with Win10, I would advise doing it on your own (unles you're super lazy or have no clue how ^^)

we have these at work, great machines and the battery life is amazing
X230 is not on there. Just up to x220 I'm afraid. But thanks for the link. I have an x200 lying around with bad battery I'll try to get battery on :wink:

I use a second hand x220 and love it. His one will be slightly faster but imo has a worse keyboard.
I recommend an IPS panel upgrade (around £50) an SSD and maybe the 94wh battery (another £50). However the base unit is fine to start with.

I'd try and get 8gb ram and 250gb SSD, if you can find a good price.
Posted from an x230 with both.

Very true. I put 16g b on mine. But didn't see any benefit so changed back to 8gb. These are very good laptops and ssd is a must.

These were £199 a couple of months ago. I nearly got one, but ended up getting a faster E6230 Latitude from Gumtree for £140, basically unused with six month Dell warranty.
My main worry on these was the battery, if the battery was only two hours, it would be fairly annoying and a new battery would push the price up fairly.
Great specs for the money and fantastic build quality.
