I posted this with a different retailer, hopefully this one won't get pulled!!
Intel Core i3 7100U Processor
1920X1080 ips screen
Backlit keyboard
4GB Memory
Intel HD 620 Graphics
Optical Drive: None
256GB Solid State Drive
Windows 10 Home
2 x USB 3.0
1 x Type C
HDMI
2 year warranty
The cheapest 7th gen i found was a very basic looking 15" i5 Acer at ebuyer for £366, but the screen was low res, all plastic case and it wasn't SSD, makes this Medion good value.
Per Amazon specs (where it's the same price as found by Winchman yesterday) - weight is 1.4kg, battery life only 4 hours.
Heat added (best <£400 laptop I've seen for ages) but it's not really an ultrabook as they claim with these specs. So it depends whether you want to pay another £100+ for a bit more portability (and maybe RAM).
Its also available from Laptop outlet, and via Tesco to get some points.

Fair enough, that's really not bad then and would be fine for an average day out of the office.

4GB RAM is not enough in my view; shame as the rest is quite good..

There should be no problem with 4GB provided you don't want it for gaming. You would want a separate graphics card to game anyway. Rarely see mine go above 2/2.5gb, its my 3rd gen i5 processor that runs at 100% that i think limits my laptop not the ram.

Don't forget TCB https://www.topcashback.co.uk/ccl-computers-ltd/ - only 1% (or Quidco - not sure of their percentage)

Shows the size compared to an apple, not sure which one..
(shouldn't obsess about it being 7th gen either)
