Earlier deal at Argos with 330+ degrees of heat same price as Amazon but you don't get the additional 10% cash back at Amazon.

Why is everyone suddenly obsessed with slow SD cards like this?

Because most of us don't care about speed it's capacity that's important

if speed is important to you then so be it but for be price and quality is more important, I've been waiting for any respectable brand to hit £25... I'm buying to fill with movies and music for my son's Chromebook that he's getting for xmas. it will for sure take ages to fill but will handle playing back video no problem so that's fine.

You are nuts if that's your intentions because this card will be TERRIBLE for a Chromebook.
MicroSD cards are dog slow compared to a USB 3.0 flash drive. Paying £25 for one these over paying £25 for a USB 3.0 flash drive is just nuts. Look at the benchmarks from Crystal. Look at the comparison benchmarks online. I have this MicroSD card, USB 3.0 and a Chromebook. Crazy to get a MicroSD and then try to use it like you would a SSD/HDD.
It's not a particularly reliable card. Mine failed within 18 months.

Then you should buy a Class 4 card from 2006. They're even cheaper for the same capacity.

not crazy at all, my son is 5 years old, the micro sd card slot on it is recessed so it will be like it's not even there, a usb drive however would sti.ck out. I have the same card in my phone (lg g5) for the exact same purpose, movies and music and does the job perfectly.

Just get a nano USB3.0 flash drive then. That doesn't stick out.
And no, it won't be "perfect" for movies etc. This MicroSD card is more than 20 times slower than an SSD or G5's internal memory. You talk alot but you seem to understand the difference between difference forms of flash memory.

a nano drive does stick out.
it's been in his laptop for the past week, he's used it daily and it's been perfect for our use.
