Considering buying for personal use - any feedback? I'm hoping the relatively low RAM will be offset by SSD

People, just stop buying machines with this abomination screen resolution. They have to get the message.
You keep buying, they keep making.

It wasn't my link. However, if you do read the link correctly it does state
Solid State Drive 256GB SSD
Hard Drive Not Included - 256GB SSD
Unfortunately many companies detail laptops, incorrectly, this way, where they class the Hard Drive as different to an inbuilt SSD drive.

Not according to the blurb from your link: "256GB SSD Not Included". Regardless, the i3 part is the main problem with your comparison argument

Lol, amazing price for 128gb SSD? You do realize you can get a 128gb SSD for under £30 on Ebay. And similarly powerful laptops for under £300.

How difficult is it to exchange a hard drive for an SSD if you have never opened up a computer before?

yes a second hand SSD, you can also get a top spec business laptop on eBay for £50*

Pretty simple to get to the HDD to swap it for a SSD click.

Linx 12v64 with FullHD 1920x1080, same processor&memory - but only with 64GB built-in storage (extendable), for only £179 @Sainsburys. You choose.

It's not overly difficult but you do have to unscrew and detach the keyboard/touchpad. That's more tricky than just unscrewing a hatch on the underside and swapping the HDD/SSD or RAM. A lot of laptops are starting to regress into this less friendly way of swapping components, sadly.

I bought one a few months ago. I'm pleased with the build quality and speed. The sound quality and volume (turned up) is poor though. Apart from that it's a solid machine that does what you'd expect.

This was £359 a few weeks ago, and is still £364 now.
Yes. 1366x768 is the minimum vertical height for most windows to fit. It's also too small for multi-window whereas 1920x1080 is probably the minimum that's usable for it. If you want the bigger UI elements get the higher res screen and use scaling.

thanks for the comment. I'm not used to taking into account resolution. Is 1920x1080 significantly better?

Do be aware this has no expansion slots underneath so you would have to take apart the laptop to change hardware components.
