Any good for the price or better to wait for Black Friday?
Edit: I think "LENOVO50" for £50 off won't work and is only applicable to a different model?
However, "LAPTOP3" seems to work, bringing the price down to £581.99, though I think this expires Sunday 20th.
Edit2: 10% quidco this weekend! Not sure if it's a good idea to combine with the 3% code above though??

Much better deal than that £850 Macbook Air from the other thread.
You don't get a load of Apple fanboys thrown in with this laptop either!

Where do I start...your 2600k has a mains supply, so power draw is not a concern. It has a TDP of 95W while the CPU in this model is 15W. Overall performance gains have stagnated for a few years now but performance per watt is where the improvement has been. Die shrinks (32nm -> 14nm) have allowed this power reduction. See here and here for more comparisons. Additionally the thermal constraints of being in a laptop body compared to having a large heatsink/water cooler in a tower obviously favour the desktop chip. Which will be 6 years old in January, so your desktop can't be as old as you think.
If you are looking for a high performance laptop then look for CPUs with the HQ or HK suffix, these are generally quad cores running at 45W such as this one.

Good price for the spec but body is made of plastic and screen not too brilliant. Better wait for the dark Friday deals..

There's the i5 version which looks to be pretty much the same for £50 less @ £549.99. The is spec here:
