Every laptop around this price point has compromises in the spec. In this instance, for a demanding user the modest 4gb ram and the core i3 cpu are the potential deal breakers. For an average student/home user (streaming, social media, word processing, some office work, light gaming and so on) it is a good mix for the money. Stars of the show are the decent sized ssd drive and the full hd screen resolution.

Oh no it isn't - ok for a computer engineer; the shell has to be opened up - watch the video quoted or this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pv0kfHZ9-08
HOWEVER, 4GB is fine provided you don't have too many browser tabs open at once (looking at my other half here - she has dozens open a a time - I know not why...)

Meh, average processor and only 4gb ram (although I note you say this is easily expandable) - would personally prefer the yogo 510 deal or the Asus Zenbook which was slightly more. Both recent posted deals.
This does have a nice size SSD though.

Good uni fodder the SSD makes it hot, maybe the little b#ggers cannot ruin the SSD as easy as a HDD, replaced 3 this week so far.

Great comment.
Pro version W10 is a bonus too, isn't it, even for home users?
Best budget laptop I've seen in this price range - that 1080p display and 256GB SSD make this excellent value for money; the SSD removing the system's biggest bottleneck and the display being the thing you stare at all the time.
