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...

Slightly lower spec option for £400:

Am I being dumb but the PC World link says £549?

Code no longer valid

Does anyone know if you can fit a 2nd SSD into this laptop?

I cant find anywhere to input the voucnher code..is this still working and if so can someone advise how to do it please?

I bought this machine after looking at the slower spec Very deals a few weeks back and doing some more hunting about.
The CPU on this outperforms the Yoga mentioned above and the other 6200 units.
Check it out on CPU Boss. There's a big performance jump on this i5.
It was £600 (from Lenovo store) when I bought mine but using Educational discount I got it for £520. Pleased with it, as mentioned the bootup is so fast and using it for music production and some jpegs/video editing.

is it not better to get yoga 510 which adds 360 perspective and touch screen. on £599>

Looks a nice laptop but gonna hold out for black friday

These laptops look so ugly with the thick bezel

i worked it out but quidco hace tracked it at 2 percent, not 10!

Erm the other machine isn't using its marginally slower 520, so not sure where you are going there. But was thinking more of the CPU load which will still make a difference, hence most games tests done on i7 machines.

Just a heads up - 10% back on Quidco, Curry's, on everything until tomorrow. If it tracks, of course.

Both CPU's feature the same GPU, the Intel Iris 550 so will perform identically.
An SSD will improve load times for the games. Framerates will remain the same.

Wouldn't the faster processor on this compared to the 6200u decrease that difference though? And the hdd compared to ssd here?

Should add PCWORLD to title.

This looks like a good deal. I'm coming from a 7yr old Pentium T4300 which, although it does the job isn't exactly nippy. Seems a decent processor, SSD, good RAM, and excellent screen. Was hoping to spend less than £400 though :smile:

is this like a t460 business laptop ?

& 10% cash back from Currys via Quidco

Isn't this a better Deal / Spec? It has an i7 processor & it's a hybrid

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

so guys could I please ask those in the know which is best this in original post, the 128gb 510 @ very with £100 credit back or the last mentioned laptop, mainly for web browsing, light games and maybe streaming videos. Or would you wait till black Friday? any help will be greatly appreciated .... thanks.

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

The 940MX is around 20-30% faster than the Iris 550 found on the Intel cpu.

Benchmarks here:

Intel Iris 550

GTX 940MX

Can anyone tell me would this Link
Be a better option for me with it having the NVIDIA GeForce 940MX lf I wanted to play games like fm17 gtv 5 and fifa17 only have a budget 500

This is 490 at Very plus a further 100 credit available

Thanks AJ
