I know has been expired although it's still available as a John Lewis price mstch eith Currys PC World as already highlighted. This way you get 3 years guarantee instead of 1 year as deal with JL customer service, if the need arises.

As stated already, Currys PC World have it on offer for £1,100 but with 10% is your for £989.99. JL have agreed to price match so instead of getting 1 year guarantee, you can get 3 years. I think that's the best return on £1000 on a 13" ultrabook and don't see you getting more for less in the near future.

Have one of these, its a nice, not cheap laptop, but surprisingly not touch screen. Also if important to you only has the type C ports mean you have to get an adapter to connect hdmi, LAN etc

I sat there looking at a Dell XPS 13 ultrabook from 2013 (an L322x) and realised we haven't moved on all that far. I do get ultrabooks and the need for thinner and faster but in terms of speed there haven't been massive gains, they're more efficient but we're losing overall capacity due to the quest for being thinner and being 'too thin' means you need a better case to protect it when not in use (hands up if you've ever caused a pressure mark inadvertently on a small machine).

I love seeing the latest tech trends but I couldn't find any compelling reason to choose something like this over a 'very good' ultrabook from a couple of years ago and save £500-600, unless I had money to burn and had to be seen with the bleeding edge.

I voted hot as I know this is a good price in terms of engineering and design (not necessarily value).

Really nice looking laptops, personally I'm waiting for the X360 version with a stylus, or a cheap surface book.

when my benefits come in I'll purchase

the new model is probably worth waiting for and the extra money... read the reviews

The new generation 7th generation i7 laptops are out. The theme on the treads was that the 6th generation will take a big hit in price. From what I'm seeing, there going out of stock without having to put on clearance offers.

The new version of this laptop will cost you £1,400.

If you are happy with the 6th generation i7 with 500GB SSD with 3 years JL guarantee, all for less than £1000, you can still get it.

How?

Currys PC World have it on offer for £1,100 but with 10% is your for £989.99. JL have agreed to price match so instead of getting 1 year guarantee, you can get 3 years. I think that's the best return on £1000 on a 13" ultrabook and don't see you getting more for less in the near future.

actually ended up buying this
beautiful laptop, but the most God awful cumbersome power supply
took it back for full refund
thinnest laptop in the world.....
true
then they went to the 1992 parts bin for ancillaries
even the USB converter was clunky and poor

Argh missed another good deal!! Back to full price :disappointed:

Think that this is back up at full price?

I bought a Spectre, very pleased with it. If you need a case look out for the one HP sell for £120, they are absolutely superb... picked one up a lot cheaper on eBay

Nice but this is the 2015 model, so I'd rather pay slightly more and purchase the newer model

Pay an extra £40 and get a HP Spectre x360 13-4129na this one, it has QHD display far better value from John Lewis.

I'd prefer a full fat i7 this low energy one is no better than an i3 in reality.

Why do you think you'd be entitled to return it if the price drops in the next 3 months exactly?

But John Lewis has 3 years free Guarantee as well and 90 day returns policy which will drop to 35 days from tomorrow.

I guess you can buy it today from JL and if in the next 3 months it gets cheaper, one could return or ask for a refund on the price drop??

Didn't look whether the same laptop but looks similar for the same price at Currys (after the 10% off all marked prices applied): http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/computing/laptops/laptops/hp-spectre-13-v051na-13-3-laptop-dark-grey-copper-10146247-pdt.html

Might be handier for some but also indicates not quite the deal it would first seem.

Worth noting that I don't think the memory banks on this can be upgraded

So many variations within spectre. Any particular processor preferred? Keep reading comments on specific versions of i7 processors which are preferred over the others. Any insight will be helpful

Better be quick!
