Not the same as cash as very is usually expensive

I think this is a great deal, £379 for a thin 14 inch laptop with an i5, 8gb ram and an ssd, with a 1080p IPS display. A couple years ago you would pay that much for a crappy acer with a pentium processor a slow 500gb hdd and the most potato like 1366x768 display eughhh

Title price includes cashback which is not guaranteed, please amend.

red one is 449 now

​theres a pic of the box in the thread that says i5 somewhere !!

Is this definitely the i5 version? The 128GB version at this price point is meant to be the i3, I'm sure?

Happy to be wrong.

the red one has went to this price now, still waiting on stock for the white one... :-( not sure if I should cancel and get a different one in case they don't get stock. the deal ends today but can't see anything that would handle medium gaming at this price hmmm

Happens all the time mate. Companies don't look for the same things across different credit applications.

I bought a house and a car - no problem. Tried to put a sofa on credit, no dice. Go figure.

​yeah hopefully, there's another positive review on very now so sounding good. do you play on playing any games on it? hope it manages to play football manager and cities skylines good, my i3 really struggled with cities loads of random crashing

I feel for you, laptops can be a nightmare if you a **** one.
I've been noticing that laptops are coming out with FHD screens now, thats a good thing.
Dont worry christmas is coming up, you would get abosolutly amazng deals soon, if you can wait that long. :smiley:
But yeah did you see how much that keyboard flexed, omg so cheap build

argh, my delivery date has changed to...

Delivery by Tuesday 18 October, 2016

Bet they cancel it and I miss out on the offer

heres a review on the laptop your looking at
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6u9EBuG4aGU
look at how much the keyboard flexes.

If you dont need one straight away wait, good laptop deals are on here atleast once a week.
If you dont need lots of storage, get an SSD one period. nothing will make it feel as quick as an SSD.

​poster may be referring to the super fish scandle which is sorted.

Important to note that Take 3 is not BNPL.

Given this is now out of stock, any thoughts on this. http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/almost-300-off-inc-100-credit-purchase-lenovo-ideapad-500-intel-core-i5-processor-2508237?p=28720320
No SSD, which from reading all the lappie threads I shoud opt for. Is it a dealbreaker? Any feedback gratefully received.

Description and small print now amended to 128gb!

Doesn't look appealing to be honest.

Costs 20% more
The Radeon is barely any better than the integrated intel chip, but uses a lot more power, and generates more heat.
Personally prefer a faster but smaller SSD to a slower but larger HDD in a laptop.
Personal again, but prefer the thinner and lighter form factor of this machine
Don't think your one has an IPS screen either.
More RAM is always good, but the difference here won't really be noticeable for 99% of people.

that one ? does look good, only missing the ssd isnt it, bigger screen too. I dont know much about graphics cards so not sure

hope you get the storage bump bro

oos

Either that or they will realise and cancel my order knowing very!

so there isnt a minimum
monthly payment?

think you got lucky, they maybe ran out of the lower 128GB model, so changed the description to 256GB but forgot to change the price, so you might get the storage increase without the price increase :smile:

The price was still 479 when I ordered and both parts showed he storage as 256... maybe they ran out of that model ? Will have to wait and see it hasn't updated the tracking yet for me :disappointed:

seems like its because they increased the storage
£50 for extra 128GB samsung storage, seems okay, I'm happy with 128GB for £479
storage prices will have plummeted by the time I consume it

They have put the price up!!

At what point do you receive the £100 into your account? how long do you have to wait ?

Within 12 months of ordering but not until after the £100 credit has been applied to your account.

cant believe how fast it come, like 3 days and I havent even given my credit card details. When are we supposed topay forit?

Was thinking this myself but if discount is offered & it takes the price below £450 it may only qualify for £50 cashback so could potentially end up costing more.

By the way this is a cracking little laptop, very fast & high build quality. It has replaced a three year old Dell Inspiron with i5 processor & dedicated graphics, the Lenovo is much quicker probably due to the ssd & newer i5. Only downside is that there is only about 70gb of free memory on the hard drive.

It does say cash back not to be used with any other offer....

Finally bought this after much deliberation!!!

For some reason the small print has changed to show 256 hard drive too now, no where does it mention 128. I know that's what you'll get but we'll worth a cheeky claim after to get some more credit back or something

oh wow samsung drive, thats like the best news! this laptop is looking like an amazing deal to ge honest,thanks

I've not benchmarked the ssd, I did eventually have a quick look in the bios and the ssd is a samsung drive.

I doubt I'll go for a screen protector as my laptop tends to stay in one place except for when I go overseas. I may get a sleeve at some point.

would you invest in a screen protector?

thanks yorkie, going to have to find another bubble now :disappointed:
im excited mines coming tommorow, I should wait but want to know now lol
hows the noise levels?
have you benchmarked the ssd?

I hate bursting your bubble but the outside is white and the inside (keyboard surround and screen bezel) are silver.





Review here.

when are we supposed topay for it lol. Funny they not even taken my credit card details and Im getting a laptop worth £489 :stuck_out_tongue:

the soc has HD Graphics 520 integrated, is that any good? I won't be using it for gaming personally

Two reviews here (both different configurations but the shell is the same)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0WTVgf2H5E
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_tmhGoAd60

definitely not white, its silver :smiley:

What's it contains graphics wise? 550, Iris or Radeon maybe? Anyone tried to play any games on it?

​To be fair I've literally just realised that this is white not silver! Now I'll be the guy with the white laptop...

no way worth the upgrade, and omg its red, silver is way better! plus buy the time you fill the 128gb, the prices and capacity of ssd will get better, alot better. Exciting times for ssd right now, expect them to plummet soon. so yeah get the 128gb version and then in future get a bigger ssd

thanks yorkie im really excited now, omg a celeron to i5 6th gen, you should feel the upgrade lol

​I may go for the 128 in that case, plenty of scope to upgrade it and I don't have to be the guy with the red laptop around the office.

I really don't know but they would have little wriggle room to provide a full refund as unlike the white version the description says 256GB too.

Personally I think the red isn't worth the extra money as £50 will buy you pretty much a decent 256GB SSD which if you are comfortable enough could swap with the 128GB one and sell that on Fleabay or keep it as a spare.

I plan to buy something like this to expand the storage.
.

First impressions are good overall.I can confirm it does use DDR4. The screen is nice and bright, the keyboard feels nice to type on and is back lit. The track-pad is a touch sensitive but I've not tried tweaking it yet. I've just spent the last 30 minutes uninstalling all the bloatware that Lenovo install as well as the plethora of apps that Microsoft installed too. I bought it to replace my ageing Acer Aspire 410 which had a Celeron processor and only 4GB ram as it was struggling to keep up with the amount of tabs I like to keep open in Chrome.

To be honest I had swapped out my HD in my Acer for a 128GB SSD which was more than ample for my needs and so likewise I'd have still bought this regardless. I've been looking at replacing mine for a while and I couldn't even find a similar spec machine on the Dell outlet website close to this price.

So does the red version, although more expensive, have 256 or 128 do you reckon. Also, Is the extra money still value to get 256GB? I'm concerned 128GB will not last me long by the time I've put some software on the machine.

Thanks, I think I saw a review that had a 128gb drive so to be honest I was expecting it. Dont understand why very.co.uk dont change the big title.
I ended up buying the lenova, better build quilaty and better panel (hp was a tf panel) I'm happy with my choice and looking forward to recieving it soon, please let me know what you think of yours, I've heard the touchpad is the only thing that lets this laptop down, except for that I am only hearing good things

Got mine this morning, here's what on the box.

It depends what you want to do with it as usually you pay a premium for smaller laptops as they tend to be more portable. That said this comes in at a starting weight of around 1.7kg which is heavier than an ultra portable but lighter than most 15.6" laptops. I too can't find any variations of this model with a 128GB SSD at any seller or in any reviews, they imply that the i3 spec comes with a 1TB mechanical drive and the i5 up come with 256GB SSD's. I also think that this should come with DDR4 as again all the models I have seen in reviews and on the Lenovo website suggest that it does. Mine arrives tomorrow so will be hopefully be able to confirm the specs.

thanks :smiley:
Im in two minds, the other laptop im thinking is this
http://www.saveonlaptops.co.uk/X0N33EAABU-HP-250-G5_1959038.html
any thoughts on which is better, yes the HP is about £45 more but you get bigger screen and more storage plus its ddr4, cant find what the lenova is

I'm not buying this laptop (already have the 500S).

I did manage to get a 10% discount off of Very under similar circumstances where the had advertised a Laptops screen as being FHD when it wasnt - & that description was in the small print not up in the bold "Headline description".

Just dont waste too much time with their telephone customer service, they really have to stick to pretty crap scripting. Move quickly to sending an email to someone who can make a decision - I found [email protected] helpful. I had opened and used the laptop before I complained which made it less attractive for them to have it sent back as a return.

Is this deal still on, link not working?

please let me how that goes, infact everyone on this thread will like to know, strange they havent changed the item title, surely that is wrong, can they say well its in the small print? its funny because I cant find a 128gb ssd model from any other seller

go on quidco sitefor very
http://www.quidco.com/very/?st=very&tr=158&fn=home&fr=top&si=57cef743dae73&sv=4-MS
check the terms and conditions
"Cashback will not be paid on iPhone purchases
Cashback will not be paid when a voucher code has been used
Please also see the retailer's standard terms and conditions for purchase as listed on their site
Cashback will not be paid in conjunction with any other offer, voucher or discount code unless listed on this page, or with any other discounts such as staff or student discounts
Cashback may not be paid on VAT, delivery, card payment fees, taxes or any other additional charges"

to me this was important "Cashback will not be paid in conjunction with any other offer, voucher or discount code unless listed on this page, or with any other discounts such as staff or student discounts"

since this is an offer for £100 cashback (from very) I thought less likely to get it honoured, (the seller will go through your claim at the end before it makes a decision so even if its tracked it doesnt mean you'll get it, like what if you returned the item etc)

so for that reason I didnt go through quidco site, still I dont see how it can affect the very offer, but then agaon I've heard you dont want to deal with very if anything goes wrong, maybe a good idea to send them an email to confirm your situation, for peace of mind, since the reason why we are buying this laptop is for that £100 cashback otherwise theres nothing special about this laptop at full price

​I'm wondering the same thing. Over £8 tracked in my tcb account so not sure if I'm eligible for the £100 cashback?

I got one :smile:
looks good for the money thanks op

can I use quidco on this and still get the £100 back?

has the offer ran out?

No, you can't stack promotions. You will never get the credit if you have a promotion applied. Cancel your order and place one again without any discount.

how do u get it for £379?

I have never been rude to anyone because I do work in this sort of customer service environment myself so I do know better than anyone else what it's like. To me the only explanation was that my details are incorrect and the lady on the phone seemed to rush the stuff she wanted to say as soon as possible and end the call as soon as possible. My sister received no explanation and the call was ended immediately after she was told that she ain't getting credit. Now explain me how person can get a mortgage of hundreds of thousands of pounds and be refused for something that costs £479. She was offered £1000 initially to whereas I only got £600 myself.

Your link is wrong, but I have had a look. You are referring to machines that were built prior to this machine - full list here.

http://news.lenovo.com/article_display.cfm?article_id=2013

The last I heard of anything like this going on was viruses being released to target a specific bios, in a time when there were not too many variants. This is quite concerning, it's seems like yet again, privacy is being eroded. This machine (and no machine in the past year) are subject to this "feature" as Lenovo call it.
I stand by my original post, you don't make sweeping comments like that without providing some background but I'll hold my hands up that albeit poorly, you were making a point irrelevant as it is now.

Really helpful.
Thank you,

In theory no, hopefully it hasn't cost you the £100 cashback.

T&C's below.

1. Buy a Computing product and select Buy Now Pay Later in checkout.

2. We’ll automatically credit £50 or £100 of the Computing price depending on your purchase back to your account by 25th October 2016.

Buy Now Pay Later allows you delay payment for up to 12 months. The payment free period starts when you place your order.

Avoid interest by paying in full within the payment free period. If you don’t, interest will be charged. Find out more in checkout.

Delivery charges are payable on your next statement.

If you return your item, the credit will be reversed. This offer can’t be used in conjunction with other offers.

Credit provided, subject to credit and account status by Shop Direct Finance Company Ltd. Aintree Innovation Centre, Park Lane, Netherton, Bootle L30 1SL. Over 18’s. Authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.

I bought it using Buy Now Pay Later 12 months. In addition I use the discount code £25 off - KH3T3.
They already discount me £25.
My question:
Can I use both promotions at the same time?
The balance is £458.98 after £25 off.

Thank you,

Without wishing to hijack this deal can anyone please give me the benefit of their experience as to which manufacturer is better, Lenovo or HP? Thanks

Right but you passed the credit score whereas the other guy didn't.

​very gave me a ridiculous amount of store credit... almost too much! it's their job if you pass to try and make you spend as much as possible! don't think the sales people are getting bonuses for turning people down!

wow, 600 on their store. this isn't great deal isn't it.... so tempted but don't really need it!

Sellers have no access to anything other than your credit score. How don't you know that? Do you really want a random person working at Very to know your financial history? It sounds like you were rude to someone who did their job correctly. In the future attempt to use common sense please :smiley:

Are you incapable of searching for yourself? http://www.cnet.com/uk/news/superfish-torments-lenovo-owners-with-more-than-adware/. Don't call someone a liar when you're not able to type "Lenovo malware" into a search engine.

I would avoid this as both me and my sister were not allowed to have the credit without any reason or explanation why, both times the person at the other end hang up the phone with no explanation whatsoever. Disgusting customer service by very. I could understand why I was not allowed, but there is no explanation why she wasn't with a perfect credit score. I guess they realised how much this £100 back is going to cost them so now they are refusing to grant bnpl even though the initial application was 'successful'.

Anyone got any links to the full spec of this laptop, size dimensions, weight, onboard graphics card ect

The worst company I have ever dealt with, told me I have supplied false information which I have not and won't even discuss it with me. I guess they realised there is too many people to give £100 back to and now they are doing these non sense things.

Anyone else got a weird email asking to contact them by phone asap?

Will i be eligible if I use topcashback?

i have just been told that if i used 10% code,i will not get the 100£ cashback as per t&cs
has anyone got any more specific information as per chat etc which can be quoted

I didnt but if you did it shouldnt impact the £100 cashback.

Lenovo modify the BIOS to ensure that nasty software is installed even if you do a clean re-install. They leave you vulnerable to attack. Avoid like the plague. Cold.

How long does the credit usually take to be added to your account?

I can't seem to get buy now pay later to work, I opened an account, but when I proceed to checkout the only option is to pay in full or to do TAKE 3, buy now pay later is nowhere to be seen, could someone help?

Purchase cost is £479.99 plus delivery regardless. Title price is incorrect and Very customer service is well known for issues.

I did a similar deal earlier this year.

The only thing to watch out for is that the £3.99 delivery charge is not part of the "buy now pay later" deal although its added to the cost of your laptop & charged to your account.

You will have to log into your Very account & pay the £3.99 within a couple of weeks of receiving the laptop.

Also don't pay off the laptop too soon - you want the £100 credit to come off what you owe Very. If you pay it off before you get the cashback then the cashback will go into your account as credit (which you don't want).

I've actually got the 500s version of this laptop & am very happy with it.

Seems like a good price if cashback works out, seriously tempted for uni

so can we use the 10% code with this?

I can't decide between this or http://www.very.co.uk/lenovo-ideapad-500-intelreg-coretrade-i5-processor-8gb-ram-1tb-hard-drive-156-inch-laptop-with-2gb-amd-radeon-r7-graphics-white/1600056150.prd

Title price includes cashback which is not guaranteed, please amend.

I think this is a great deal, £379 for a thin 14 inch laptop with an i5, 8gb ram and an ssd, with a 1080p IPS display. A couple years ago you would pay that much for a crappy acer with a pentium processor a slow 500gb hdd and the most potato like 1366x768 display eughhh

Can't be used in conjunction with the 10% first order offer. I have just opened an account and it went through in seconds. You'll know if you can get the credit before you order.

Anyone found out if any codes work with this offer? Maybe new customer 10%?

What happens if I'm not accepted? I have to pay full price?

can someone please explain how exactly this works please? do I need to make a very account?

description states 128GB, I'm guessing the product title is wrong. still not a bad laptop for the price though, but slightly misleading.

If you fill out the order form it confirms the price and the spec for that price laptop. It clearly states 128gb SSD.

if only it wasn't white I'd buy this, pics look silver but definitely white.

Well spotted, after delivery I would be asking Very for a discount as its clearly not as advertised.

Good point! It's early, kids running around and have man flu

As you will have gone for the "buy now pay later" option it is actually the same as getting cash as long as you dont pay off the credit until after you get the cashback.

The £100 credit will be taken off the amount you still owe.

As soon as the £100 has been credited you can then pay off the outstanding amount interest free.

Looks like a good deal to me.


I think its the description thats wrong, same model is 256gb on Lenovo website.

Not the same as cash as very is usually expensive

Is it cash back or money credited to your account?
