I only went with Gold cos I've got a Silver Macbook and didn't want us to clash otherwise I would have gone for Silver

I'd been keeping an eye on this laptop since Friday hoping something just that bit better came up, but I might end up biting the bullet on this one.

I took out the additional 3 year warranty for £49 (HP 3 year Pickup and Return Notebook Service) which also got discounted with the 15%. I have added this to the post

I was considering this laptop also, but just found a pretty much identical spec one from acer for £40 less using today 15% discount code found on their webesite, so works out at £425. I would post a link but having its not letting me view the product now, but you can still find it and add to basket as i just ordered one, the model "Aspire F 15 Notebook | F5-573 | Silver", might be worth checking out.

I think the screen resolution is not as good and it doesn't have an ssd ?!

this or the 17" dell deal from JL that was posted yesterday?
I've got the dell on its way but really wanted an SSD

28 Nov 161#14
I went for the Dell too. Reserved it in store and went to pick it up today but when I saw it on display it looks like a nice machine but it was too huge and heavy for me so didn't get it

28 Nov 16#15
There seem to be two models with different specs, but the one i just ordered has the following
Windows 10 Home 64-bit
Intel® Core™ i5-7200U processor 2.50 GHz
39.6 cm (15.6") Full HD (1920 x 1080) 16:9
8 GB, DDR4 SDRAM
256 GB SSD
Intel® Shared Memory
Unfortunately thats all i can link which is the brief product description under the item image.
For some reason when i click the product it just takes me to the top of the page and wont let me look at the full description, but you can see the specs from the list of products..
dreamz
28 Nov 16#16
Yes I see that now but it doesn't let you even click into it

You cant click on the details for some reason. Just click on "add to basket" ...or whatever it said. Then click on the basket.

is this still there, i cant see anything of the sort?

28 Nov 16#20
You can see it and pick it from the list of laptops and add it to basket and complete checkout, but you just cant click on it for the full description, it was working perfectly earlier on. There are two identical models with different specs, model is Aspire F 15 Notebook | F5-573 | Silver, you can see the brief description under the image. Hope that helps.

guys I already placed an order for the hp ...should I cancel it and order this Acer one

28 Nov 16#22
Regarding the Acer laptop specs, you can see it if you click on the "Add to compare", and then click on "Compare".
Admittedly the spec sheet is not very well written but you do get to see what's on offer. Hope that helps.
I'm in two minds whether to get this Acer laptop with the SSD drive. I've already ordered the Crucial 525GB SSD from Amazon, so will put that in and keep the 256 as a spare or possibly install it in the DVD drive slot.
Still decidiing, and time is running out. :neutral_face:
Seems the same as the HP but no optical drive and slightly heavier at 2.30kg
dreamz
28 Nov 16#25
I ordered the HP then saw this Acer and decided to get the acer. With 4 year warranty for £484 which is a great deal I think. Gonna try and cancel the HP now
5500
28 Nov 16#26
I wonder is the no optical drive a mistake on the acer, the other variants ie HDD model seem to have it, bit of a **** if it doesn't have one

I would much rather have a dedicated graphics card rather than Intel's basic one. But maybe that's just me?
Not voted either way.

No, aside from the processor being the i3, it also has a godawful 1366x768 screen.

I ordered the HP on Sunday, the website says delivery within 48 hours but when I track my order it says "Waiting Stock" and estimated delivery 10/01/2017! Am I missing something here?
dawsonz
28 Nov 16#30
Hm this or the Acer, decision, decisions...
dreamz
28 Nov 16#31
I'm on two minds now which one to keep. With Acer not having an optical drive it's putting me off a bit now
snow18
28 Nov 16#32
i bought the Acer. I haven't used an optical drive for years, so doesn't really bother me.

Do you know if it's a glossy screen?

28 Nov 16#37
HP was never going to buy the Acer. Just pointed out the specs for those who were looking for them
dreamz
28 Nov 16#38
I've ordered both but I think I'm gonna cancel the Acer. I've heard bad things about both the companies so it's so hard to decide

I was really tempted to order the HP but the reviews put me off HP. spec is great though.
roadeh
28 Nov 16#40
Which reviews? I really struggled to find a review for the current version?
dreamz
28 Nov 16#41
They both got terrible reviews

Ordered the HP. If I change my mind, what are my options to return it?

29 Nov 16#43
I think you'll be ok as long as you haven't opened it
That one isn't full HD so the screen won't be as good

29 Nov 16#46
Has anyone's laptop been shipped?
PocketDem to dreamz
29 Nov 16#47
Mine says "Waiting Stock" and a delivery date not until January 10!!! I ordered it on Sunday...
dreamz
29 Nov 16#48
In the email I got it says delivery by 30th December. But when I look online it doesn't say anything about delivery. I ordered the silver one. They still have stock of that one
dreamz
29 Nov 16#49
Just got a text from HP. My order will be delivered tomorrow.

29 Nov 16#50
My one is still on Packing and I posted the damn deal. I ordered Gold which is currently out of stock so there's that
PocketDem to slliw
29 Nov 16#51
Any chance if I changed which colour I wanted that I'd get it sooner? I also ordered Gold.
dreamz to slliw
29 Nov 16#52
Yeh I think gold has been really popular so it got out of stock. I'm sure you will get something soon because people really started ordering after you posted
dreamz
29 Nov 16#53
It's worth a try. I'm sure if you call them up they might do it for you
slliw
29 Nov 16#54
I called up and they said mine (gold) is processing in the share house and should ship within 24/48 hrs. I'm not that bothered as it's a Xmas gift for the Mrs

I ordered a silver one on Sunday, it's currently sitting on 'processing' still, no other info in there. Card has been authorised, but not charged.

29 Nov 16#56
Well I just got a text that mine (gold) is coming tomorrow! So much for the January estimated delivery. Phew!

30 Nov 16#57
Just had mine delivered. Not opened yet gonna do it later tonight. Was wondering if anyone knew about the free apps HP were giving with this laptop. Are they any good? And how would you go about getting them ?
slliw to dreamz
30 Nov 16#58
I think there was a link that comes up or a web address when you hover over the free apps part on the product page.
Probably bloatware. Mine still stuck on processing
darxide003

Mine has just progressed to packing (ordered silver on Sunday), so there seems to be about a 3 day lead. Estimated delivery date is tomorrow.

30 Nov 161#60
Here's the link. I've not used Windows for years as been using Mac so don't know if these apps are any good.
Got mine today, using it now! Very fast, beautiful screen. Very happy so far.

I have found this to be lagging and slow with 15 odd windows open and plus can hear some crackling sounds coming from it at times. Anyone had similar experience. Dud machine or no good for multi-window operation? Any feedback or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
dreamz to mubashar

That doesn't sound good. I've not really used it much yet because it's a gift for my daughter. I hope I don't experience the same problem.

I notice the HP also in the i3-7100u variant for £100 less - http://store.hp.com/UKStore/Merch/Product.aspx?id=Z5D58EA&opt=ABU&mastersku=Z5D58EA&masteropt=ABU&sel=NTB&
Is it worth the £100 saving over the i5 in the HP or ACER?
