Anyone tried to boot a fresh Windows install from a USB with this? Looks like it's going to be a PITA!

I've got one in red. Still sealed. Didn't need it in the end. If anyone wants it let me know else it's going back.

Don't be that sad. Keyboard layout is as bad as I feared! The right shift key is in the 'wrong place'!
If this was for me it would be going straight back - it would drive me nuts...
p.s The left shift key is equally bad too.

Complete gaming novice here looking for my son who wants something for school work and a few little games. Is the spec good enough to run something like Minecraft?

26 Nov 16#50
Yes, will run games such as minecraft great, not high end games though

Spoken to JL. All stock gone, they say none in warehouse
They have been stocking throughout out the day so i'm sure they will get more in within the next few hours.

Think you're right in hindsight, product description isn't great but I speed read it. I couldn't understand why it had one without a fhd screen.

Bagged a black one, thanks OP

I bought 2 of these rather than giving dell any more of my cash. I have a Dell and I can't fault it, but yesterday's malarkey was an absolute disgrace.
Bonus 2 year warranty and it has blu-ray (not really sure why though)

ordered one black one through the link , thanks OP
I guess it's the other one from JL then... Lenovo Ideapad 310 Laptop, AMD A12
Could always keep this one and bump the spec with an SSD. If only there was a good Black Friday SSD deal...

Not full HD? Just (hastily) ordered for someone else but they were after 1080 :disappointed:

Won't find 1080 at <£250. There was a £299 i5 asus @ curry but thats OOS now.

Like others here, I missed out on the dell website twice due to the website crashing constantly, I also missed the curry's Asus twice due to umming and arrring! Second chance after waiting all day for this to come back in stock again, red one. Cheers OP.

All colours show in stock for me still, 10+ stock for each colour. Try hard refresh in case you are seeing cached version

You beat me to it, I've just ordered this in silver. Gave up on Dell.
There's quite a difference in CPU benchmarks from the Dell and newer CPU model so should ideally use less power as well. It also does have DDR4 2133MHz RAM

25 Nov 16#5
Strange, all still in stock for me
modd1uk
25 Nov 16#1
Yup, says 10+ of each colour. £50 more than the dell deal that was on but it's a newer processor with DDR4 (according to lenovo site), best thing is the site doesn't crash!
m0bz to modd1uk
25 Nov 16#2
Yeah can't find anything to match the Dell deal, I'm thinking this is the next best maybe.. DDR4? That would be great if thats correct.
Opening post
Will update if more stock comes in.

Which version of the OOS is this deal?
There are so many on HUKD - especially on this special Friday
Bonus 2 year warranty and it has blu-ray (not really sure why though)

Here's the Currys £299:

OOS probably nearly everywhere by now
Could always keep this one and bump the spec with an SSD. If only there was a good Black Friday SSD deal...
thanks for the heads up.
