Screen sounds great. It is Full HD, and of course everyone here loves one of those. IPS should mean a good quality display. While anti-glare would help minimise annoying screen reflections.
Processor is 6th gen Core i3 which should be adequate for everyday tasks.
Edit: The Lenovo Yoga 510 deal posted by someone else is worth looking at for anyone thinking of buying this.

Bought this for my son's Christmas over the BF weekend for £299.99. Seems to be well put together for the price and would recommend. It even plays lots of recent games at low settings reasonably well.

I bought one last September when on offer for a similar price, perfectly good laptop. I did however upgrade the ram to 12gb
Which claims to be coming today from amazon :smiley:
Laptop has 4GB soldered to MB and a spare slot, Crrucial claim it will take a 16GB stick which would give 20GB RAM but I don't think that its worth it for me
Nice laptop but slow with 4GB

Still looking for that sweetspot of Full HD, at least 8GB Ram. SSD a bonus and as good a processor as possible!
Every laptop deal seems to have one thing missing or wrong with it for me to bite. That's me though, I certainly wouldn't vote something cold just because it doesn't meet the requirements in my head! :smiley:
Also I didn't realise that the keyboard is back lit - Fn and spacebar toggles on and off - which is nice

The processor is pretty decent in these, by all accounts. In fact, the spec is excellent for the money (I just love a full HD IPS screen). Only thing that puts me off is the massive 15.6" screen, which makes it too big for a lap (IMO). The Yoga 510s would have been a better option but I thought about it for too long in the end :smile:
