Use code LAPTOP10 at checkout for it to reduce down to £404.99. Bundle includes wireless mouse and bag. Great spec for the money. There seems to be plenty of stock around too.

Only downer is the battery life really.
And by a little more you mean almost £200 or basically 50% more.

To be honest, for everyday use this is brill. Every product will have its negatives, nothings perfect. You will never buy one if you go off hukd comments and reviews :stuck_out_tongue: . I'm not just saying it because I'm the OP, I only post a deal if I think it's good for the price.

Please excuse my ignorance but with every laptop deal someone says "no SSD" and it becomes a 'thing'. Why is it not asked with this laptop?

Which would be better for playing Minecraft and sims 4 - this or the John Lewis one?
DonkeyKonk
27 Nov 16#22
Would this play GTA V well ? Does the i7 and 8gb make up for shared graphics ?
a kindly beast to DonkeyKonk
27 Nov 16#23
depends really. don't know if it will play gta5 certainly through cpu has the grunt. if the ram is upgradeable then that will help but Intel graphics is a big no no for aaa games...
Pondlife to DonkeyKonk
27 Nov 16#37
Well 8gb is minimum spec for GTA v anyway isn't it.
It plays, but wouldn't say well, the GPU is clearly what's holding it back.

The John Lewis version of this laptop for £449 has a dedicated nvidia 2gb graphics card, which might help those wanting to play games
Pondlife to androidavis
27 Nov 161#39
Might be remembering wrong as seen so many laptop specs lately but wasn't it a 920m so wouldn't help much if at all.

27 Nov 16#41
Also comes with a 2TB hdd.... Which I would probably swap out for an SSD but it's not often you see laptops with a 2TB harddrive. I would be interested to see what model it is though. The only 2.5" 2tb harddrive I ever saw was something by Seagate, who are not very reliable. Maybe things have changed since I last checked though. Here's the link:
It's the same price as OP's so if you're going to take the plunge there's no reason not to get this one instead. That's if it comes back in stock.

considering this option from JL and getting the +3 yr warranty extension (one of my main requirements is to replace the device if it develops a physical fault). anyone know why I might choose this option from Argos? They don't seem to offer any warranty or service extension for their products so can I get the same directly from Lenovo?
androidavis to tidymonkey81
27 Nov 16#38
I think the 3 year warranty and 2gb Nvidia dedicated graphics card are worth the little extra at John Lewis. The benefit of buying the one at Argos, without those benefits of the JL deal, is pretty much that it costs less money

If anyone has any suggestions for a better laptop could they suggest one please ? Every time I see a deal posted there are always that many negative comments I get put off . Im looking for one for everyday use and streaming etc, not for gaming or programming ? TIA

P.s ...I have no idea what an SSD is either.....
slliw to michellecullen58
27 Nov 161#45
SSD solid state drive. They have no moving parts in them and thus can load programmes and boot up a pc up to 10 times faster then a conventional hard drive. They cost a lot more and tend have lesser capacity then normal hard drives

People falling hook, line and sinker for Intel's badge engineering. Don't just buy it because it's got an "i7" processor (because it's a lowly dual core) - you will find a lot of i5 processors will beat this.

I'm confused is this model got a dedicated graphics card or not

Is Sata-III, SSD or HDD?

It can be either, Sata-III is the interface (faster speeds than earlier SATA versions and other types of interfaces).

Yes it WOULD!, but appears the price may have now shot up to the best part of £500 now?, so .....
A 'similar' Product to this perhaps, could maybe be this instead? (which would also suffice for your purposes?), you may also like to consider, is this:
There's also an EXTRA £10 off code for this same Laptop floating about, on the bottom of Page 2 (via 1 of the comments) - I'm using my Phone for this comment as I'm typing this to you (so cutting & pasting both Code + Link, would have been hell!). :-(
