Not sure why this is expired - I just bought one.
Great find!
Only difference is that Cashback comes from the amount ex VAT, so is £72 in this case.
Final price including Cashback = £647.99

i would say the same about sony vaio z21

There isn't really anything like the VAIO Z series now, except the US/Japan only (non-Sony) Vaio S.
However, silence is blissful. With the performance now available from ULV processors, fanless should really be an 'Ultrabook' pre-requisite. The Acer looks like a great deal.

Just paid £650 for i7 (last years) and 256gb. Good price. Better than all these crappy i3 deals.

Well this is a Y-series ULV i5; and i3 is the same silicon and architecture as your i7 so what's your point? i7 is mostly marketing for the uninformed - you pay a lot more and basically just get Turbo Boost that isn't sustained when it hits TDP.

I was just stating I paid £650 for a similar spec? i7 this years or last blows the i3s out the water on any benchmark test. People keep posting i3 deals which I'd avoid. Pay that bit extra of i5 or i7
plewis00 to LOL_85

Why? You haven't even asked what these people are using their computers for, other than bragging rights and a little bit of extra Turbo Boost what exactly do you think you get from an i5 or i7 that you don't get with an i3?

Speed?

Everyone knows the biggest bottleneck in a modern PC is hard disk vs. SSD. While I agree that if I paid £650 for a laptop I would kind of expect an i5, if you gave me the option of an i3 and a 1TB SSD or better display (for example), I'd take that over an i5. I bet in a blind test you could not tell the difference between an i3 and an i5, especially when we're talking ultraportables where it's predominately productivity work or internet, not gaming or content creation.

Oh yeah for sure. SSD is the way forward. Another issue with most laptops (deals posted) is a tiny 128. I spent an age researching and searching for a decent/cheap 256gb.

Yes totally, if I get an SSD and no storage disk then it has to be at least 256GB but I think in this price range that's generally what you get?

Quidco is quite unpredictable now a days, TopCashBack is recommended.

Have you owned many Macs? Just curious as I've owned a few any never had any issues with fan noise. I bought a HP Spectre 13 and returned it within a few days due to fan noise and went back to my (almost silent) Macbook Air.

it was a 'tongue in cheek' comment re Apple fans; not fans in Apple devices...
Just persuaded myself I don't need a laptop now, then you come and post a nice deal on one I've been tempted to buy :worried: . Everywhere else it's £999 and above.

I know.
You could always tell the well off kids at our school, they used to come back after the summer holidays with new shoes and a nice tan.
I'd usually return with a black eye and a new surname.

Actually mate, it was a letter in Viz back when Kevin Bridges was still in primary school.
At least I'm not getting paid for using other people's material, unlike Kev.
