    Price has gone up a little to £529.99.
    You can get a 1TB SSD for no extra cost though so maybe it's worth it.
    I would stick with the i5-1340P, it's still a great chip but it's Iris Xe graphics with 80 EUs over the i5-13420H which only has UHD graphics and 48 EUs.
    If you can get by with 8GB RAM, you can knock it down to £450 - not sure I'd do that but that's a lot of current gen performance on the cheap!

    Do you need Power Cord: 100W for updated battery: 4 cell, 75.4Wh? Asking for a friend

    65w will be fine given it has no dedicated gpu. Can only see it draw 15-45w given cpu efficiency. I would got for the 100w if you upgrade cpu to the H model (edited)

    I'm surprised this hasn't had more heat.

    IT's £70 cheaper than this which has had a lot more heat hotukdeals.com/dea…616

    From what I can see the processors are pretty equal, but the screen is a bit better on the other one?

    The 120hz screen is rare on non gaming laptops and is a major upgrade imo. So that's probably why.

    does this support Displayport ?
    doobreedob's avatar

    Yes, one of the usb c ports is full feature including display port when used with the right cable or usb port adapter.

    Do you just install windows from usb? Never used laptop without CDs.
    Is 4 year warranty with accidental damage worth £210

    You can install windows from USB, if you don't have a DVD CD drive
