Ordered at 7:30am and received my DPD delivery date notification this afternoon at 3:30pm - package arriving tomorrow, cheers OP!

You backed the wrong horse mate, my i5 model is out for delivery :smile:

ordered at 7:32

no delay email and no cancellation email
but an email with eta to delivery set for next monday

I ordered 8:05. Hopefully some people will get the bargain

Well good luck! Fingers crossed :raised_hand:

ahh right I ordered in the 2nd batch but it was right at the beginning and didn't get the delay email either so hopefully I am ok

I was going to wait until next year to upgrade from my 6 year old one, if it was the i5 despite being a great deal I wouldnt have bothered but this was too good to pass up

Mine has been canceled too.

Oh well - would have been quite a bargain!

I ordered around 7:24, at least that's when I got the confirmation email from currys

when did you order? I ordered in the 2nd batch at 8:01am

ordered 7.35am and not received cancellation email yet.

Sorry to hear it was cancelled - would have been one of the deals of the year if it'd come through.

I ordered one of the Vortex desktop PC's earlier with 1070 so will wait and see but not holding my breath as appears to be some kind of issue at currys end.

I'm guessing it's the i5 version but ya I didn't really need so probably for the best :stuck_out_tongue:

Cancellation mail as well but not that bothered...they're offering an alternative but there is no way of finding out what it is ?

Same cancelled im happy in a way as i did not need it but still wanted to buy so win win lol

Any idea which one they're proposing as an exchange? There wasn't a link or anything in my email.

Same cancellation email here too.

According to this the 1050 is massively better

gpu.userbenchmark.com/Com…022

Better than a 960m, comparable to an 870m in fact

gpu.userbenchmark.com/Com…022

Not an expert myself but I've always relied on that website (perhaps incorrectly!) to give me comparative guidance.

Anyway, phoned Currys and apparently it is completely sold out and won't be any more coming back. Managed to get the last i5 so fingers crossed it's at the better end of that scale!

should be a few more coming back in stock. Just cancelled mine too

I agree,
I just don't really need it, unless the GPU is like super powered can't really do anything on it I can't do on my 3 year old ultrabook which is far more portable.
Can easily flip this for £200 profit though but I can't be bothered with that at the moment.

given intel 8th gen processors are out, this does sound reasonable time to empty stock on 8month old model

read my reply

There was no way this price was intentional...

Search wilko on this app. It's the gift card discount. 9.7% ish discount on £50 MasterCard, them use to bit £50 Currys gift card. Repeat.

Did anyone else get a "sorry due to unforseen" email then another email saying they are processing the order and given expected delivery date?

You won't find as good or better in a £500 laptop. Probably over £1000 to get a laptop with this processor and GTX 1060.

GTX 480 used around 3x the power to get a lower level of performance for a lot more money in a much bigger form factor, so it's not like the technology hasn't moved forward.

If you want higher end gaming performance in a laptop, you'll need to spend a lot more money!

Thanks, bought that one!

I'm trying to find this out unsuccessfully as well, as I'll be using an external monitor most of the time.

Shame they don't give detailed specifications on their specifications page (or anywhere else it seems!).

hopefully it wont dispatch

I'm now thinking of doing same thing

I called up to cancel mine...
Didn't realize how weak the GTX 1050 is, it's around a GTX 480 in performance, 7 year old top end tech.

awesome makes the deal even better, glad I payed online now
I was going to ask I don't really game much on PC (more of a console guy) and want to use it for graphics and editing also

Very likely impossible internally.

No thunderbolt means e-gpu is not easy.

You could possibly get an m.2 pcie e-gpu setup with an external 1060/70, but it wouldn't be very portable (requiring external PSU etc).

Even if you don't use it for gaming, this is still a stonking deal for the base spec. Looking forward to using it to edit videos with that 8-thread i7 processor...

Just was using PayPal to pay and gone

I was after a slightly better gaming laptop (e.g. 4GB version of the 1050 at a minimum) but this is so cheap i think I'll be happy!

yes, 1% for me too but it says it will adjust to higher rate later, like when I ordered my Samsung watch. I've taken a screen shot just in case.

I ordered through Quidco and i tracked at 1% (£4 ish cashback) but quidco says that there is a special rate for 'windows laptops' it should be 4%, is this considered a windows laptop?

Does anyone know if the hdmi out on this laptop is 2.0 and capable of 4k 60Hz?

Thanks! Will call them later.

If you bought the 15-bc250na, it's now £499 and they do refund the difference. It's in their policy.

Omg. I ordered the i5 when it was down to £749 three days ago.
It’s still not been delivered, do Currys refund the difference if they reduce the price like this?

I prefer to use paypal to buy expensive items that are likely to go out of stock quick.

Got an order confirmation at 8:04am when I placed an order, but the order is not showing on my account.

Am on the phone to Currys online customer services (having spoken with 2 separate people at Currys General Customer Services already). I was told the order is "awaiting further checks"!

So, not counting my chickens yet!

9:11am - update: order still going through "checks"! So still not counting my chickens. Was on the phone for 30 minutes!

I got that with Lloyds bank for Metroid Samus Returns Legacy Edition, managed to get another one but drives me crazy when its for a rare or low stock item

Ffs :rage: "We'd like to verify recent activity on your Debit Card. We will text further details in an SMS from number where we require your response" 40 mins ago....

My next problem is figuring how to hide the laptop from my wife.

Maybe if I swap it for my old laptop, (hiding in plain sight) she won't notice.

I got the email 2nd batch phoned them definitely getting them in stock she said I hope so 37 other buyers

[quote=callofdute1]

read my post[/quote]

If that's the case then great, hope you're correct.

I ordered in the 2nd batch but quickly and hadn't had the delay email yet

I did indeed. Quite happy with the purchase regardless of missing out on the superior model for the same price. :grin:

see other post on laptop from hp directly... its great deal for the card you want

Amazing deal. ... damn I missed it. :cry:

I reckon that's it. :disappointed:

Don't start contacting them for goodness sake, don't alarm them to a possible misprice

read my post

not possible

I don't know how to add a deal but look at this currys.co.uk/gbu…tml

don't think its misprice
its clearly marked as clearance and is an old model with 2x4gb so not top of the range and 50% off seems reasonable for clearance, so they will honor

i didn't get the delay email but that could be because i ordered in the first batch before it went oos the first time

just been on phone to them cancelled i5 order got i7 order when it was in stock. they said they are definitely getting more in stock of them.and I should not cancel my i7 order. it will be soon she said 32 other buyers waiting for I7

i was auto refreshing

Lasted seconds. Keep checking it's coming in and out of stock

How easy is it to add a new graphics card (1060/70) to this laptop?

[quote=eggmanpete]Ordered one but got this email after order acknowledgement:

Yep me to, its not happening

My order acknowledgement email was a standard one I guess which is a good sign.

"Thank you for choosing to shop with Currys PC World.

We have received your recent order and it is currently being processed.
Standard delivery (expect delivery by Monday 16 October 2017) "

not seeing it :disappointed:

Same here

In stock again!!

at that price even the i5-7300hq is good

cheapest new will be £700+

Best value laptop I've seen in a while. If i7 was still available I would be tempted to buy even though I don't really needed it. i5 is still create value but would always be disappointed I could have got an i7 for same money :cry:

Lets hope they don't get cancelled! Exactly what I have been after and for a great price! Though appears to be a pricing error..

Sold out, was half way through buying it!!!!

Incredible deal! Hot for anyone that got one!

They've just ruined everyone's productivity for the next several hours as they constantly refresh to see if it comes back in stock again since it has done it once already.

oh my god missed twice. sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.

Just got an i7! Can't believe it! What's the catch?

Is this back in stock? I've just ordered and got email confirmation that it'll be ready to collect tomorrow

I have just orderd to collect in stor if its true its amazing

just got the I7 WOW got to phone them to cancel i5

Will get cancelled. I think they meant to put the i5 at that price

Back in stock?! Well it’s showing as in stock?!!

still in stock just ordered one

Back inXD

I was able to order one

Not enough of an upgrade from my year-and-a-half old laptop that I could justify a purchase, but that's still damn tempting.

It looks to me to be in-stock at the moment.

Back in stock. Just got one. Be quick!

I think the i5 version is still a good deal and since the i7 is sold out I would hang on to ur order

back in stock, just got an i7 just now

Showing as Back in stock for me?

Is the i5 any good? I've currently got it in my basket

should I cancel the order or get it still ? witcher 3 goty what fps?

so you bought the 15-bc250na?

Looking back on it, I've purchased the i5 version. Reckon it's still decent for the money though in fairness and I'll keep my order active.

Anyone praying in store get a further 10% off using the Wilkinson gift card deal posted yesterday.

NB The i5 is still available at £499 and still excellent VFM

Damn it, would of got it for that price

urgent help is this bad deal for i5 bought the wrong one on pc world should I phone them at 8 and cancel ?

Waking up early has finally paid off. The number of times I've logged onto this site to see an amazing bargain OOS...finally I can take advantage of one!

Thank you for the post. I actually bought a laptop on eBay yesterday since I needed a new one but this was too good to turn down.
I just hope it's not a misprice.

Spent too much time facing about with windows 365 :grin:‌ :disappointed:

On pc world site (same model number) says it's an i5? And same price

pcworld.co.uk/gbu…tml

Opps that one is 250 this deal is 251 :sweat_smile:

OOS damn.

Wow this is a bargain, screen is ips as well as the nice specs. Haaaawwwwt!!

v hot... just ordered an asus rog i5-7300hq from amazon warehouse for £630 and i thought i got a bargain! but this is killer price
with ips screen too....

time to pack the asus to return it

I have had the 17" version for a few months and very happy with it. I do now wish I got the smaller screen though as the laptop is massive!

Best laptop deal I have seen for a while.

It also includes free dirt 4 even hotter

Is this a glitch hot

Yeah this will sell out very quickly.. hot hot
