Lenovo are selling the Yoga 700-11 2-in-1 laptop for only £349.99.
Specifications:-
Processor - Intel Core m3-7Y30 Processor ( 1.00MHz MHz 4MB ) Operating System - Windows 10 Home 64 Display Type - 11.6"FHD LED Backlit Multitouch 1920x1080 Memory - 8.0GB LPDDR3-1866 LPDDR3 1866MHz Hard Drive - 128GB SSD M.2 Warranty - One year Depot or Carry-in Graphics - Intel HD Graphics 615 Battery - 4 Cell Li-Polymer Wireless - Lenovo AC Wireless (2x2)
Seems a good deal to me as this is a lot more at John Lewis and Currys.
I've ordered one only thing it's missing is an SD card reader.

Hot, on John Lewis this is 499 and only has 4GB of RAM, this has 8GB. Thanks OP.

Only one USB port. No ta! (specs say three in total but the pics have only one, and I've confirmed it with Lenovo themselves in chat).

yup... guess you could use a hub... but that wouldnt be much fun...

Its sides are so skinny there's precious little space for any more. If it's a problem, a small usb hub will help. Generally positive reviews. Looks great value for money if you are happy with the screen size.

This is a great price for an excellent ultraportable. Good screen, good battery life, very lightweight (1.1kg) etc.

This is a decent deal for an m3, full hd laptop. Tempted...
These would be my perfect specs for a Chromebook at the price

Can you not install Chrome OS onto it? I'm not sure as I've never tried but I thought that was possible with normal x86 machines.

not the official chromeOS but you could probably do chromium if you were relatively technical.. or, if it's supported neverware which is much easier to do *but* sometimes lags newer hardware. but, if it doesn't go smoothly then there's the whole irony that you're potentially faffing about drivers and settings... and you'll wonder why you didn't stick with windows or just buy a geniune chromebook :thinking:

Yes, you're quite right, I thought it was open-source and supported by Google themselves but was wrong. I think Chromium and Chrome OS support the normal kind of hardware, usually the biggest issues are graphics drivers (which tend to be the Intel built-in ones on these small machines). You're probably right anyway, it's just easier to buy an actual Chromebook.

yeah, the graphics drivers can be problematic. i had a problem with a trackpad on laptop i was trying to 'chrome-up' never got the bottom of it. this Lenovo isn't on the neverware supported list yet, tends to be useful for giving older hardware a lease of life... perhaps in time.

With the cost of some of these Chromebooks I think I'll just buy one if I need. I got a CB3-431 with Full HD display for £100 the other day (it was a one off before anyone asks) but I was stunned at how quick it was. It's just the idea of going fully Chrome OS I have a few concerns about, mostly needing constant connectivity for even productivity work (using Office Online) and that means finding WiFi that works (my local Starbucks WiFi is terrible in the last couple of weeks) or using hotspot on a phone, I am burning through much data than I ever have.

i'm hearing that... i freaking love chromebooks! this would be great portable kit, but once you've had the luxury of not faffing with windows it's so hard to go back!
