I think the 1TB version at £299 is much better value as it also comes with 8GB of RAM versus 4GB in the 500GB version.

£50 for 4GB RAM and 500GB storage seems reasonable. Is there any other differences e.g. improved processor/graphics card?

i bought one last week. you can get 4gb ram for £22
the hdd is rubbish anyway and you will need an ssd.
better off getting the base version and putting the extra 28 towards a ssd.

Good deal. Not the best performance but for £250 it's not bad

Yes other options and configs available personally would go for i5 to push the GPU a bit more get more out of it but for someone who wants to play Minecraft or counterstrike and have a small PC footprint not bad at all

Zero real info on what hardware is in there, or even the model number.
