Looks like a good all round spec for the money. 1050 is stronger than a 960m, and this comes with 8gb ram, quad core and 256gb SSD. 1080P screen too.
Great all round spec without spending tons and will still play pretty much anything at moderate settings and resolution.

The next model up is £300 more but has i7 instead of i5, 16B RAM instead of 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD and 1TB HDD instead of 256GB SSD and the all important 1050Ti instead of 1050.
Is it worth the extra?

I purchased this directly from Dell the other year for my son. Never had any problems with any Steam games etc he's purchased. Great for college too.

Both are 1080p screens, only downside being I understand it's not a great screen, not great viewing angles. At £700, I think that's tolerable. Once you hit £1000, to my mind you want something a bit better...and also a 1060 in that budget would be better me thinks.

I heard a while back that they saw the error in their ways and were supposed to be putting better IPS screens in these. Not sure what happened and if these would have them but I guess it's not much hassle to return it if not satisfied.

The HP Omen John Lewis deal was going for a hundred quid less. That had 2GB 1050 graphics and only a HDD. This has 4gb and 246 SSD. I think this is a good price. Both this and the HP had comments relating to the screen.
BTW the HP deal went over 1500 degrees... you do the math. :-)

Not sure what people are downvoting for tbh? Not sure you will get much more laptop for the money. As said, 8gb team, quad core, dedicated graphics that are usable, usable size of SSD...

Great price. People's only complaint about this laptop is it's screen.Bare in mind this has the same graphics card as the recent HP Omen deal except this has 4GB instead of 2GB plus it has an SSD already installed.

Aye. Buying a 256gb SSD would cost most of that £100 these days...

256GB SSD are not that expensive anymore. Especially if it's a cheap brand. If it was an EVO 850 that would be different, but i'm fairly sure it won't be.
