7th gen, 128 ssd - £500? chilly for me.

Shame it doesn't have a blu ray drive, they have cut too many corners.

There's a shedload of "For dummies" on the IBM website. Thank me later: https://www.google.co.uk/search?biw=1366&bih=612&ei=Pmi_XNLMF--I1fAPi9CYuA4&q=site:ibm.com+"For+Dummies"+inurl:pdf&oq=site:ibm.com+"For+Dummies"+inurl:pdf&gs_l=psy-ab.3...2929.3395..4034...0.0..0.89.151.2......0....1..gws-wiz.......0i71.mlxY2ZVFQTU

Sky net for dummies, thanks @clarkenuttal

This is an abridged version. Don't confuse it with the one listed on Amazon. This one has 68 pages whereas the real one on Amazon has 432 pages.

Thank you Crossbow The deal was posted in a rush due to busy schedule with an assumption that people may know exactly what Machine Learning is. But I really appreciate your assistance in making this post better and easier to comprehend by your lovely explanation. The Amazon version is £17 for Kindle and Paperback so this comes as Bargain for Free (y)

How can you just state things that are blatantly false? Most if not all 10tb WD drives in either elements or My Book format contain white label helium drives. My books are a bit more difficult to shuck due to their case design. I shucked 2 10tb WD elements earlier this month and both were white label drives. I am not even aware of 10tb being available in the blue range unless you have a reliable source to refute that? You are correct about the warranty difference, although the moment you shuck the drive; that is the end of your warranty.

No, the £195.99 is a promo price which cannot be stacked with the discounts you mentioned. Those discounts will only apply to the regular price of £219.99. This has been discussed before on previous WD threads.

How'd you backup to S3 easily?

It doesn't - 2 very different use cases. Chrome OS needs to fit your use case.

It doesn’t. That machine is useless.

How does this compare performance wise? https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/computing/laptops/laptops/geo-book-1m-11-6-intel-celeron-laptop-32-gb-emmc-silver-10180024-pdt.html

Ha ha me too !! (lol) (lol)

Assuming you've not used a Chromebook (y)

As good as it looked the combat quickly got repetitive as were the enemy models

Fun game, needed to be a few hours longer though.

thought it was pretty good, shame they didn’t make a sequel and improve the combat

Prices down all round... those waiting on Ryzen 3/Zen2 - do consider getting some "good stuff" rather than this "cheaper" ram. Gen 3 looks to be less picky but... still... it's been one of the most obvious tweaks on the first 2 generations (up to 10% performance increase with better ram) so... may well continue. 16GB (2x8) is about optimal for gaming. this is the "good stuff" (3200mhz samsung b-die): https://pricespy.co.uk/computers-accessories/computer-components/ram-memory/ddr4--c1790?sort=price&filterId=s325968041 Shame the cheapest good stuff (OcUK team group) looks tacky as hell (it makes me think power rangers for some reason) but still...

I recently bought some nice Patriot Viper ram DDR4 3000 it's under £82 now https://www.amazon.co.uk/Patriot-Memory-PV416G300C6K-16GB-pc4-24000/dp/B0157UQ5A6?ref_=mw_olp_product_details&th=1&psc=1#

When you factor in delivery, you might as well get the Corsair kit from Amazon for just a little more here which is also a little faster https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/corsair-vengeance-16-gb-2-x-8-gb-ddr4-2400-mhz-desktop-memory-ram-7266-amazon-3218220 Better customer service too imo.

Plus delivery ;)

What they make up for in speed they lack in tasteful aesthetics. Blingtastic! :D

£23.99

How?! Please please let me know

How lucky I've been. Still have a Seagate Barracuda 2TB as the only drive in my old Dell desktop in a dusty bedroom since Dec 2011. Just looked up the Amazon order. Desktop is on 24/7 365 except for everyone away from home holidays. Keep meaning tp replace it with an SSD.

I think you might have to click a button beneath the normal TCB " get cash back " one. My wife didn't and it's tracking £0.68 (mad)

I think it was the trip past the neutron star that did the most damage.

Leaving them all on top of your large subwoofer in your living room certainly hasn’t helped :D

1. You're welcome. 2. On my aforementioned hp14: 2.1. Windows Quick Scan 1m 10s for 24791 files. 2.2. malwarebytes free 1m 31 for 266914 items. 3. You might want to also consider the huawei-matebook-d-14. Often £560 on Amazon 3.1. See Huawei D14 previous post. 3.2.1. Owners of the H D14 have commented on that thread. 3.2. Many on here like the look of the H D14. See other hukd threads. Many tech reviews to google. Anyway, good luck with whatever you decide to buy.

Thanks Publix, appreciated

Can't compare amd ryzen to a10 it is like ferrari and fiat (embarrassed) (embarrassed) (embarrassed) (embarrassed)

Then I suggest you wait for a IPS-FHD/8gb/256GB/Ryzen5/Vega8 version. There have been several of those variants here in the last 6 months HP & Lenovo. I got this (via offer posted here) for £400 just before Xmas. HP14-cm0999na

Ryzen 3 is a poor next to 5. Anyway for £5 more you can have this Lenovo with Ryzen 5 (quad vs dual core and much better graphics) and double the SSD. The build quality of both of these machines is average as they're basic consumer machines. https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/lenovo-14-full-hd-laptop-v330-14arr-ryzen-5-2500u-256gb-ssd-8gb-ram-35478-ebay-ebuyer-ends-midnight-3218733

That's a really good deal, especially with the full feature USB c port, however the TN panel and build quality will definitely let it down compared to the IPS on this model, however the price reflects this, theres obviously going to be compromises at this price point but dont think you can beat the laptop you linked.

Much better than a 1tb 5400rpm drive that are still being used in similarly specced laptops. I'd take the 128gb SSD anyday over a standard HDD especially if it's an nvme drive, 256gb or 512gb not really possible at this price point but I think there might be a space for a 2.5' drive, only if theres a sata port in there as I think the SSD only takes up the M.2 slot.

Let down by the 128gb SSD.

Amazing specs but I find the pavilions screen quite dim Doesn’t pop out like the surface screens or some of the dells

Second hand so brilly would say.

I had my eye on this one, ended up getting the 330 (no s) as it has a graphics card in it and there wasn't too much difference in price as PC World had a sale on. I think I made the right decision

Used an i3 one of these and it's really nice. Screen, keyboard and trackpad are all better than most for this price.

PRO10 code also works with this seller, reducing it a bit further

Probably needs another 4gb memory and an ssd

Bought the next iteration of this for my dad on Amazon at £180, as I understand the only difference is it's now an IPS display. He loves it. I have just had another look and although it's gone up to £215, there is a "Like new" Amazon Warehouse version for £169.48 which seems like an absolute bargain considering it's only damaged packaging. https://amazon.co.uk/AOC-Q3279VWFD8-32-Monitor-LED/dp/B07CG41Y8Z/ref=sr_1_1?crid=Y1WB682JKGQI&keywords=aoc+q3279vwfd8&qid=1555900152&s=gateway&sprefix=Q3279VWF%2Caps%2C182&sr=8-1

Love this monitor. Great for content creation and a spot of csgo

Weird, I have an AOC monitor (not this one) with the same 48-75 Freesync range and it works perfectly on my GTX 1660.

Yeah on this albeit using an Nvidia GPU (2060).

On this monitor?

£9.99 is my biting point. ;)

Hurry up < £15.

Hasn't it always been this price jumping between £22.99 and £23.99 daily?

Why does every laptop I look at on this website either have a catch to it or sell out? ;(

Oh man, you just embarrassed yourself in public.

Ridiculous spec. They must be looking to dump those (not very suprerior over i5 performance) I7 chips. Bit like having a Ferrari engine in a Morris Minor running on 4 flat tyres.

Agreed, the vast majority would be better served by an i5 8250u, Full HD screen and SSD. I wouldn't rush out and buy this model just to get an i7 badge.

The U-series i7s aren't significantly better than the i5s: https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i7-8550U-vs-Intel-Core-i5-8265U/m320742vsm566107

Just like others have said, not 1080p. Everything else is "Look, my new phone has 4k/ Quad HD/ 8k and Eastenders on my 6 inch screen looks amazing! I also need a new laptop, so reading pages of text on a 15.6 inch screen with 768 pixels will be fine" Is it just us who INSIST in Hull HD? I would understand it in a budget laptop, but do you really need to spend £600 on an identical spec laptop JUST for the screen upgrade?

I have a SSD in my work laptop and a HDD in my 5 yrs old personal laptop. There is no way I will buy a new one now without a SSD.

Not with a 1TB mechanical drive... It's 2019, that will be s very frustrating experience even with an 8th gen i5.

It was standard 16:9 ratio resolution for years but i still prefere my old ThinkPad that was 1280x800. 800 lines was way more sharp comparing to 768p

Weird resolution screen
