If you want to reduce another £30 click in the warranty section: Others
1Yr Collect and Return Included - No Upgrade Selected [Included in Price] to reduce by £30
So with Win 8.1 (yuk) non backlit keyboard and basic return to base warranty and a £1 case you can get this for £299 incl VAT and delivery.
You can still (unofficially unless you use assistive features of Windows) upgrade to Win 10 using assistive upgrade (i did this couple days ago and it upgrades perfectly)

do you happen to know how easy it is to get into the back of the laptop to changeout to a SSD replacement drive?

Dell will have a service manual online in the support section or see if http://www.notebookcheck.net/ have a review as they usually cover such issues.

It's a hot deal, especially if you downgrade some options.
