ASUS VivoBook 17 X1704 Laptop, Intel Pentium Gold Processor, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, 17.3" Full HD, Silver
2 Year Guarantee
Been on the look out for a budget 17" laptop, this seems like a crazy price - it's £429 on amazon and the next best price I could find was Mesh Computers where it's £389.
The CPU is not amazing but it's pretty good for a budget laptop. This laptop has an i5 version but it's significantly more, at £599 from PC World. PC World also have a £499 version with a celeron processor.
TCB @ 5% would bring this down to £313.49 which is just nuts.

sorted byIt is low spec, low res, despite of the big screen size.
You definitely don't want to carry it around, so basically a desktop replacement.
I'd rather buy a mini pc plus a screen TBH for probably similar price, but better upgradability, better maintainability, and likely higher performance.
Unless you do want to carry it "sometimes", and do need the battery.
It's definitely a niche item, but there are those of us out there who like 17" laptops. There are certainly good deals on 15" if that's your thing, but personally I find them too small. I absolutely wouldn't use this as a desktop as as you say, there are better options such as ... buying a desktop PC.
However I have no qualms about using a 17" on my knee lying on the sofa, and personally I don't use the battery except to carry it across the room. It fits in the car and my bag just like anything else so I don't really see an issue with 2 extra inches when carrying it around.
I'm buying it because I had a 13" dell mini xps 13 and it drove me nuts with how small it was.
As I say think this is a deal for people that want a 17" laptop, which is absolutely not everyone's cup of tea, but they are so hard to find at a good price I thought this one would be a good deal.
at £300 this would be superhot by now. Still a good deal whichever way you look at it.
John Lewis doesnt mention a backlit keyboard that I could see .
