I hope it may be useful for someone looking for a half decent spec machine for less than £500.
Original cost £549 (currently reduced): then at checkout apply "LENOVO50" for £50 off = £499
Also: TCB is 1%, so potentially the price becomes £495.
Quick spec:
Screen: FHD IPS screen (1920*1080)
Processor: i5-6267U
RAM: 8gb DDR4
Storage: 256gb SSD HD
+ Backlit keyboard and usual connections.
Laptop is partial good plastic and aluminium as far as I'm aware; I've done a bit of research and it seems to get very good reviews.

Just a little update; I received the laptop today (ordered yesterday).
Build quality is great! Little to no flex to the screen or keyboard. Screen with its IPS 1080 res screen really is fantastic, with super wide viewing angles.
I've timed it doing a cold start up to log in screen; which it took around 8sec, and ready to use in about 10-11sec.
I underestimated the usefulness of a backlit keyboard, now that I have it, I wonder how used a laptop without it.
Sound is great, considering it's a 14" laptop.
Downside: the trackpad could be a bit better and it comes with some bloatware, but nothing that you can't uninstall.
So far so good...

yep that's the downside. will they have any untouched with seals or will they only have modified ones that they call a so called service which you have to spend an extra £35 to get as it comes with a USB stick or as I call them second hand because the seals broken

The 940MX is around 20-30% faster than the Iris 550 found on the Intel cpu.
Yes i thought the gtx was better then the iris 550 but wondered how much because I do like the backlit keyboard and ssd on the 510s
Thanks

Personally think that's a great find for the price. Please take into mind that you won't get fantastic results when playing 'AAA' titles like GTA V but t should be a pleasant experience on lowish specs at 60fps. It will kill perform decently on FIFA and Football manager however for the next few years
