Cold because it's Currys. It'll be a nightmare if anything goes wrong.

At this price it's acceptable. The question is how upgradeable is it? Is RAM and the hard drive easily accessible for upgrading?
Edit: 2 cell battery and "up to 4 hour" battery life, ouch.

Why on earth don't they put an SSD in these things... my 2010 i7 FHD Vaio absolutely flies with an SSD about 10 times quicker! :smiley: thanks op though :smiley:

Why is it acceptable, I see no reason for it to be, machine arrives immediately needing a (potentially fiddly) £30-£50 upgrade that will make it 10 times snappier. Crazy.

Heat for the full HD, might even have bought it if it was £250.

30-50 if its just a casual internet cruiser, but a lot of people store photos and other crap. For a decent sized SSD its nearly as much as the laptop.
That said i wouldnt use a machine without an SSD :P

It's not just missing a ssd, it's also a 5th gen i5.

As someone that hasn't been that interested in laptops for a while, how bad is a 5th gen i5 paired with an SSD in this day and age? Was about to buy this until I read your comment haha

Anyone know if currys have any activce codes that can be used to bring this price down alittle? Was able to pick up a HP i3 from JL on black friday last year for £199...was hoping to pick up another i3/i5 for around the £250-£275 mark...havent seen many good deals on laptops under £300 so far this year.....
