    They said that there's a laptop shortage due to various covid-related reasons. Primarily: more people working from home, and then covid restrictions affecting productions lines.

    I don't believe it, I think they have been trying to pump the prices pre-Black Friday and in the period between Black Friday and Christmas we will see some heavy discounting.

    Fingers crossed you receive one before 6th and the other before 14th! (and get charged for just the one)

    Voted hot! This is a direct competitor against the Medion from Aldi. More or less the same specs and price and if I was to choose in between these 2, I would probably go with Dell, but Medion has longer warranty.

    A strong laptop in the under £400 sector and those looking for laptops for school work, should probably pay attention to this deal. (edited)

Need one for my son. Cheap laptops seem to be a thing of the past. Bought a laptop for daughter 3 years ago for Christmas. Was HP £280 4GB RAM and 128GB SSD. Been very reliable and fast. Even came with bag and office 365 for a year. I expected to pay similar money but twice RAM and SSD. This seems cheapest around at the moment.



    I know. I'm looking to spend under £400 for a new laptop for my mum.

    It's not so much of an issue if I don't get it before Christmas - I've explained the situation re: pricing and I've asked if she minds waiting until the new year if need be.

    I'm expecting a serious price drop after Christmas day. I know its a different situation, but you could consider offering that to your boy. Tell him you'll buy him one first few days after xmas whether or not prices drop. That's what I've done with the Muvner. I understand it may be a different situation.

    Got to be Christmas. Both the kids are treated the same. It’s also his birthday end of December. Would be ideal if his birthday was January. (edited)

    Is it not worth paying the extra £42 for the Ryzen 5 3500u version?


    Without a shadow of a doubt "Yes" if you can spare the extra cash

    In general the 5000 series is a higher quality laptop than the 3000 series. It's difficult to say whether you'll actually see the benefit as it depends upon what you are using the laptop for, but the AMD Ryzen 5 processor is better than the 3 & the numbers imply 50% faster, although there may be an overheating issue. FWIW I went for the 5000 as it is supposed to be the "sweet spot" between the 3000 & 7000 in terms of value for money.

    You can use a free open source version which is safe called open office or libre office and they are compatible with Microsoft office so that they will have no trouble transfering work from school/home. Alternatively you can search on eBay or Google shopping and type in Microsoft office key. This will cost around £10 or more and you just download office from their website and to register you type in the key provided by the seller but just be wary these keys sometimes stop working after a year or so but I personally have not had a fault.

    Colour accuracy and brightness are more important than IPS, I have two laptops with TN panels but the dell from 10 years ago beats the 2017 hp because it's almost twice and bright and has more accurate colours. IPS only matters if you want to tilt the screen at a weird angle and still see what's going on.

    This has made me look at other on Dell's site, seen an i3 that looks ok, RAM is low (4GB) so went to Crucial to see what upgrade options they have... couldn't get an answer as Dell don't list enough information. Contacted their Sales Dept. and they couldn't help. Said it would only be done as an upgrade. I said I wanted to do it myself and they wouldn't tell me how many slots, and what I would need. Pretty poor TBH.
