If anyone can explain how these models differ it would be helpful. They all seem to be the same to me.

Does anyone know if windows can be installed on these?

Currys one linked is different model i.e flex version where kB folds completely underneath so you can hold it like a tablet. It's also a smaller screen l.

They do have the ideapad 5 i3 at £329.99 but it's only 4GB memory not 8GB. (edited)

Quick update - mine got delivered today and having checked it over I’m happy to say it’s exactly as described. Touchscreen, 8gb RAM, 128gb drive. Can also confirm that the fan is pretty active on this, I was expecting this as quite a few online reviews mentioned it. Doesn’t bother me but may be an issue for some I guess.

Have now reset it and wrapped it up ready for my daughter’s birthday at the end of the month!

Sorry to jump on this thread but I'm hoping for some advice.

Is it worth buying this?

They’ve put the price up on this from that seller. Was £260 pretty recently. Could have been had for £230 when the ebay discount was going.

Pretty much ticks all the boxes for me, if you can live without a touchscreen. Just bear in mind, there are some Android apps which really need the ability to swipe, and trying this on a touchpad can be a poor experience.
