I wonder why these are on ebay with only the 30day return? And no mention of warranty? Other than a bit heavy, my 13.3 Tosh was 1.1kg, half a kilo lighter, this looks a good spec. If I were spending £500+ on this I'd think about paying the extra £72 for Two Year STPP. But then, if I were spending nearly £600, I might buy something else. Not voted.

Acer - definitely none are worth over £300. Any problems then good luck getting it sorted!!
"Water damage" is their normal BS answer...
Even though you know a laptop hasn't had any "water damage" how do you prove?
If you do buy make sure your protect yourself - like Acer do!!!!!
Awful company!

Wouldn't touch Acer after my previous experience of their 'customer service'.

Purchase with a credit card and get the credit card company to refund you if there's any issues. No need to be out of pocket.

Problem with the Argos paypal account and cannot be paid for. Wanted to collect this today and have been trying to checkout and pay since 1pm today but cannot. Rubbish. Called ebay and paypal. Problem on their end

Seems expensive for a 13.3 inch screen......??

Tesco, AO etc are selling this for a lot more.
The main thing I look for are the hardware specs. Compared to others with the same specs this is a bargain.

Also, it's a 2 in 1 laptop so unfortunately the price for these types are slightly more inflated.
I think most would prefer smaller screens given that it converts into a tablet.

Why is this getting heat when you CAN'T BUY IT?

Just checked and I'm having no probs.
Are you trying to click and collect? Might not be available at your local store so you may have to get it delivered.
Plenty in stores around east London

Said it was available at a store near me, tried both Crewe, an ST1 store and home delivery. Everytime 'Something went wrong' Used multiple ebay accounts and cards.

I purchased the swift 3 from Argos with a same spec for £549 yesterday. However it's a 14 inch and in gold and slimmer. Don't no whether to return it and get this. It's still sealed, so I can do so. I did not bother posting it, as hardly no stock anywhere.

The screen size is the last thing you should be looking at as a barometer of price/quality ratio.

Not in my book love - it's the only thing you are using 100% of the time. Plus I'm biased, I'm coming from a 17inch Dell; it's something you shouldn't have to compromise on. But I guess if your willing to sacrifice, your willing to sacrifice; there's no right or wrong answer :innocent:

Screen size don't impact the price like TVs do. It's the resolution you need to consider as well as the other specs which usually reflects the price

Picked up one of these for the missus a few weeks ago for £550, happy with it at that price (once we removed the bloat). Best value I could find 13" with 8Gb/256Gb, flippy touch screen is actually quite nice for casual use

Can I ask whether you found the keyboard backlight for letter 'N' not lighting up or very dim?

The backlight is generally pretty poor but it gets the job done. Looks like this is 499.99 now - excellent value

This doesnt always work and is not a guarantee for getting your money back.
thanks for providing the link for other members of the community. I don't need this as I already am aware that this is no guarantee if something goes wrong with a transaction.

I have this laptop, paid £20 more. I think it's great value, really powerful and slick. The processor is the newest generation and is really highly rated.
