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.

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:

New RAM installed 12GB now makes a big difference
Also I didn't realise that the keyboard is back lit - Fn and spacebar toggles on and off - which is nice
Totally forgot about the Yoga deal when I uploaded this!

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:
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

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.
