Wanted to buy a entry Laptop for my son James to do his home work on and have been looking around for a while.
I saw this was £179 Save £50 then also noticed there is a £20 off coupon making it £159 TDX-HKFY and it has office included.
Its £249 in Argos and £219 in John lewis,.
Should be pretty good for what we need it for.
Also available in purple but not sure its fair to send him to school with that!
Or for those of us that can't be bothered with buying from Gearbest and potentially paying import duties and vat and the potential hassle if a fault occurs will probably prefer to just buy this from Tesco and be done with it.

CPU is pretty slow (passmark 977) but on the other hand it is economical on power.
Office 365 is a years subscription included, as is the 1TB ONEDRIVE storage.

Another point on this - while the retailer is different I think the offer is manufacturer based so : the Office 365 isn't a full year. Word came with a 6 month sub, Power Point only 3. There wasn't a full TB storage on OneDrive either.

At this price, you'd be far better off taking a punt on one of the Chinese laptops.
The Chuwi Lapbook is supposed to be very good. The EZbook 3 is also another alternative.

Really not sure why you mentioned your son's name in the OP... I might be seeming old fashioned here but do kids bring laptops to class nowadays?

Would this boot Linux from USB/sdcard?

I have an older version of the HP stream, running windows 10 is absolutely unbearably slow. I never intended to anyway, and immediately installed Lubuntu on it (on the 32GB eMMC) - it runs reasonably fast, Facebooking is a little slow but not painful, text processing and spreadsheets with libre office runs okay, youtube is a bit of a struggle, but luckily it's a low res screen, so it can just about handle it.

I have a Dell Latitude I bought from there - 4th Gen i5, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD - only £250 - considerably better specs than this deal.
m.2 version here from Ali Express, though more expensive at the present time: https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/Jumper-EZbook-3-Pro-13-3-laptop-Intel-Apollo-Lake-N3450-6G-DDR3-RAM-IPS-screen/2216020_32811763646.html
The Chuwi Lapbook 14.1" is probably the better buy at the present time. £200 with m.2:
