About this deal
This deal is expired. Here are some options that might interest you:
I got one of these last time it was on offer at this price about a month ago. Cracking little machine with backlit keyboard, WiFi 6e (AX), Thubderbolt 4 port, bluetooth 5.2, 8GB memory which can be expanded to 12Gb (no idea why that config!!) but not USB c charging unfortunately.
Initially had a few worries about the noise of the fan but that settled down over time.
I know it is "only an i3" but latest generation so as futureproofed as you can get.

i5-1235U - 10 core (2 performance + 8 efficient) = 12 threads
512GB ssd
they were same price as now in early April for about 10 days... but then gone up £200.00 in price (edited)
This 12th gen i3 is faster than the 11th gen i5.
Well worth for the money.
When I upgrade my laptop now it has to have a backlit keyboard (hugely underrated feature) and USB C charging.
