About this deal
This deal is expired. Here are some options that might interest you:
This is my first post so be nice
Like many others I have been on the lookout for a good value laptop and surprised by all the large capacity but slow hard disk drives still around. Core i5, 256GB SSD and 8GB should make for great performance for general use.
Only thing missing is the full HD display but at £350 hard to find better for the money!
There's a same spec i7 version also on ebuyer @ £449 but not worth the extra £100 (28% price increase) for a relatively small real world performance increase in my opinion.

sorted byif you people keep spouting about having full HD at the same price... post the damn deals and stop moaning. it's really annoying.
Everything else is great, but it's all largely pointless if the screen looks like....
It's not a case of the display being "not the greatest" or "okay for light use" or any other 768p apologist nonsense people spout; 15.6" 1366x768 displays are horrible and anyone who's used a 15.6" 1080p (or above, though unlikely at anywhere near £350) display will know exactly what I mean.
Sure, it's not worth replacing a laptop you already have and are happy with just to upgrade from 768p to 1080p, but buying a new £300-400 laptop going into 2017 with a 768p display is absolute madness, in my opinion.
We've just moved offices at work and I've installed 30 new machines with 30 new 23 inch 1080 screens. All but a few have had their screens 'made bigger', ie a lower resolution and horribly blurry much to the disgust of myself and my tech.. In my opinion you shouldn't be allowed anything but the native resolution but if you made 1080 mainstream at 15 inches the first thing most people would do is lower the resolution.
I have a 15 inch 4k laptop and on some apps it's truly horrible but I wouldn't change it!
This is a great deal for a great laptop which will suit the general public.
heat all the way from me.
ok the display isnt the greatest but unless your gonna want to use it for high end movies or photoshop editing its gonna be fast for usual every day stuff

Can you post up these better options? Keep in mind you have to match or better both the price and rest of the specs.
All these people moaning it's not 1080 make me laugh, it wasn't many years ago that people were saying you don't need 1080p unless the TV is bigger than 32 inches but now it seems you need it from 3.2 inches. I know you sit closer to the screen with a laptop but really we don't all need 1080 for average use.
Worth it - and GREAT FIRST POST! Have some heat.
Fair play. :-)

I know I'm likely wasting my time, but why "No"?
Most people don't use ~100PPI displays at less than arms length for anything else, so why put up with it on laptops? Tablets and phones, even at the £300-400 price point, have equal or higher outright resolution and much higher PPI displays than 15.6" 768p laptops (or 1080p laptops, for that matter, but you're not getting better than 1080p on a laptop for anywhere near £350).
That aside, it's possible to buy decently spec'd 1080p display laptops in the £300-400 price bracket, so why settle for 768p and then have to put up with it whilst doing literally everything you ever do on your laptop?

Yes FullHD would be ideal but your not likely get it at this price with the same spec's.
Love to laugh at these deluded idiots so adamantly protesting against 1366x768 displays in 15.6''. Yes, your phone has better screen resolution.Yes, fullHD is better (often).
No, manufacturers will not change their minds because your cold votes and comments on hukd.

Its a 6200u which is the exact same processor as the Core i3 6100U without the 2.3-2.6 turbo.
Its CPU score is :
Core i5 6200U: 3930
Core i3 6100U: 3896
I personally would take a core i3 with a full HD screen over this any day
Link your deal or pipe down

You can go find a laptop with a full HD screen but if it's with an intel i5 processor, 8GB RAM and 256 GB SSD for less than even £500 I will take my hat off to you!
It is not, obviously it is nicer to have one but again please post something with even close to this spec with one at this price.
Thanks op and don't be discouraged by the usual replies
1:/ post a laptop deal with 768x1366 resolution
2:/ wait 6.24seconds for first comment on the resolution
3:/ sit back and watch the bun fight explode as keyboard warriors, self appointed IT experts and random troll baiters join in.
Well done OP, for a first post you've done very well in completing lesson 15b at HUKD.
No
If my 170 quid chromebook has a Full HD screen they can afford to put it on 3-400+ laptops, its an absolute joke
Good specs tho for the price
hot from me
For me the Lenovo 14" 2-in-1 for £349 at Currys with i3 and128gb ssd but 1080p screen is a better choice. People think i3 must be rubbish but it has a better cpubenchmark score than my gen 4 i7 in what was at the time a £750 laptop. I bought one for my Son and it's surprisingly quick so unless you 'need' an i5 latest gen i3s are plenty fast enough for everyday use. In fact just checked the cpubenchmarks and as I suspected the i5 in this and the i3 in the Lenovo are as near as damn it identical in performance (only 34 points difference which is negligible). People get too hung up on the i5 model thinking it's so above an i3 but it's all down to cpu models and a quick cpubenchmark check will tell you what you are getting.
My experience with low end HP laptops are that they are horrible, nasty keyboards and nasty looking/designed casing worse than other brands at the same price point and would never buy one again. High end such as the Spectre range are obviouly amazing bits of kit and where HP excel.
It's easy enough and cheap enough to stick a 256gb ssd in any modern laptop but I can appreciate those who don't care about a decent screen this is a decent spec budget laptop for the money.

Some time ago I would have disagreed, but now I appreciate a quality screen. I spent a few years using an XPS 17 which had an excellent display with vibrant colours. The Clevo I replaced it with had an awful dull screen with backlight bleed. When I look at laptop reviews now I tend to focus on the screen because that's the one thing you use 100℅ of the time on a laptop and it needs to be a worthwhile experience.
The rest of the specs look really good for £350 though.

PC pureists can argue till the cows come home - but some other members of the public dont use their lappy for the same purposes as gaming and MUST have HD etc....
Keep up with the good postings!
the Lenovo Yoga deal thats already on here is a much better deal, better build quality and a full hd ips screen 8 hour battery life, the list goes on......

Ciao!

Sorry but all of your post can be negated by this one simple fact:
£349.98
Voting it cold or telling people not to buy it because you would rather spend more on something nicer/better is like saying no one should buy any budget-mid range cars because the Porsche and Ferraris are nicer. Yes they are, but not everyone wants to pay a premium for the best features.
Agree exactly, sorry op
