Another AO special shows up as £1030 until you add to basket then it shows up as £930 then add the code Get40 to bring it too £890
Yes it's very expensive but it may be handy for somebody in the market for the spectre 13 as it's currently selling for £1050 at currys
Usual ultrabook specs:
Core i5
256gb ssd
1080p display
8gb ram

Vastly better build quality than Dell. Surprised some people think it looks tacky - I think it looks superb!

Depends what you use it for, I don't like touchscreen on windows 10 and find the surface quite cumbersome but it has a great display, this on the other hand feels amazing and so light

just general work and light video editing. just looks good :smile: . you are right the screen is great on the surface
I was tempted on the currys one at £1150 - £100 cashback £1050 for the 512gb ssd
What's the difference between these?
Or would I be better with a Lenovo yoga 14" i7 at £699 from currys?

Neither is better or worse they are just different, with the x360 you get a touchscreen that folds into a tablet but is 20mm thick, the normal spectre 13 is 10mm thick so thinner than the apple macbook/macbook air.
That particular yoga laptop has good specs but has the same display and body as the £349 yoga 14, its good but when you are spending that kind of money it needs to be great i personally would get the spectre 13 if you have the money to do so

Thanks for the reply.
In regards to the touchscreen ones, this one is £827.10 with i5 256ssd
Is it worth paying for the £1050 to get an i7 with 512ssd?
And if I buy one of these spectres what's best warranty or insurance for it? At least 2 or 3 years?
I know currys do it £269 for 3 years for £1050 one

The 2 in 1 weighs slightly more but has a better battery. I would go for this over the Lenovo if you can afford to as it has better battery, build quality, lighter and stronger resale value.

the difference between the core i5 and i7 will not be noticeable they are both low power cpu's and benchmark around the same scores, its the storage thats the bigger factor i personally would take the 256gb as it takes quite a bit to fill it with movies and pictures then any extra i throw on an external HDD that way you're saving £200.
Just had a quick look and general laptop insurance upto £1000 is £55-£60 for the year so i wouldn't bother getting the currys insurance
