Windows 10 Deals & Offers

And what's the top makes in this range, then?

Nope, too much money for a laptop with a TN screen. A message to laptop direct. Stop hiking up the price, it was £404

Human Skin and the tears of a dying cyclops

Gone back up in price.

Good price but I watched endless reviews on the best laptops in this range. This one was always said to have a poor screen so it maybe worth thinking about.

Yeah that's true. I'd prefer a 1660 Ti in the Dell. I'm going for the 4600H anyway, don't think the 4800H is worth the extra money for me

It seems a bit better (the screen and the CPU) but it has a 5600M. It all depends if AMD doesn't mess up its drivers. Which is quite likely to be honest. CPU though, is a beast. But the 4600H is also a beast

I think this laptop comes with single bank of ram or ram in single channel. You need to get a set of dual channel ones so probably gonna add another 100 on top of this price. But very good laptop.

Found out my girlfriend gets 10% NHS discount, so decided to make the change and went for the Dell. I've just got an email from Amex to say that the deal has been used and should show on my account in 5 days if it meets the criteria... so guess I'll find out in 5 days.

Go for the Dell G5 SE instead

ouch my mistake. Indeed you cant on this particular one , Even is usff , usually there is a riser card for expansion cards, i thought is one of those, but on this model it doenst have any kind of expansion slot , just 2 slots of ram . So for others "IS NOT POSSIBLE TO ADD A GPU"

This is a usff, not an sff, is that definitely possible?

Not a bad kids gaming pc then tbf.

yes you can add a gpu later, but only a low profile one with no external power need it , although the choices are slim

Cheers mate

Someone rubbed out the line that says "..until it implodes" (lol) (lol) (lol)

"Windows 10: Take control of your PC", oh, the irony!

Sooo cheeky (lol)

Wow that was quick, thank you I'll expire.

Now £2.33

kewl (y)

Message from seller, got the key, nice clear instructions for changing edition from home to pro, and key worked (y)

I'll give the seller some time I guess. Only contacted the seller directly as yet.

Don't know what to say bro. Contacted team e-Bay?

So I took this general advice and bought a key last night from an ebay account with high ratings that's been around since 2007. No sign of the key after the payment. No communication (annoyed)

Problem is the rationale behind not supporting them doesn't change, for 4000 series they will likely get them running, but I don't believe they will get them running at full performance. It will also be down to the motherboard manufacturers to implement, and even with AMD supporting it will still be a lot more work for them so I don't expect lower end parts will get a compatibility update universally as even if AMD support it the motherboard manufacturers might decide not to bother.

Not much between the processors, but built in graphics is better on the AMD, they were over £50 cheaper and one of those deals had 16Gb ram. Pound for pound AMD is winning pretty much every battle with Intel right now.

Nice Deal ...there's also a slighter better one at Box...the total price is more but then factor in the 20% as someone mentioned above.

Same as well

Same

Went with what you advised, as well as a Bluetooth adapter and they are working with no issues, so just wanted to say thank you for your help!

Thanks buddy

If you're happy to upgrade RAM yourself -- and it's a very easy process in fairness -- I'd buy this one and see how I got on. If RAM became an issue I'd buy a RAM upgrade. But you might be okay with 8GB.

Should i look to expand to 16gb RAM or go for a different build

Sure. Personally I'd probably go with the TP-Link AC600, bit more of a recognisable brand. But YMMV.

Ik this is a relatively good value deal but getting an i5-1035 and dedicated gpu at £26 more just makes me critical.

must be popular price has increased £20

You are still missing the point here, this laptop is more than sufficient for intended purposes, and will be fine for years to come for most peoples requirements, that is what you need to look for, not just core count.

Core's don't scale in a liner fashion, even Intel's latest quad core isn't double the dual core's score. https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/Intel-i3-1005G1-vs-Intel-i5-1035G1-vs-AMD-Ryzen-5-3500U/3560vs3558vs3421 Ryzen processor's generally offer better bang for your buck. This just isn't a deal at £400.

This laptop is almost as performant as my i5 8th gen that I bought two years ago for £630. At £400 this is a big yep, actually.

I imagine GTA5 wil be coming to Google's Stadia cloud gaming platform so this stick probably would be able to run it yeah. Depending on WiFi quality.

I also had no idea that this was a thing, amazing really!

Would this thing be capable of running vcarve for a desktop CNC machine?

Probably ready to go but other freight has been a priority. I had an item declared lost by Hermes to a non-EU country. The minute their restrictions lifted, it arrived. DHL is currently 3 x normal cost per kg.

Great for multi media stuff . Even skygo works on this .

Are the any good user guide ebooks for linux?

Thanks Boz.. Yet again I've missed a Windows 10 book you have posted, third time to date.. lol..

Yep - it's not free, it's £2.42

It’s only free to read and showing as £2.42 to buy in Kindle format.

This is to replace the current PSU which is only 240 watts but apparently you need a 24-pin to 6-pin adapter in order to replace it for a bigger watts PSU which is what you'll need if you install a decent graphic cards and play the latest games on it.

How would you use this with the PC out of interest?

Thank you very much bro, appreciate your help.

Can you please direct me where and how to do this please? I've bought this PC and I would like to have the option to install a decent graphic cards sometime in the future.

I happen to need two wireless controllers and one USB dongle right now. Any suggestions on the best way to buy these (if not this deal)?

Thats if you have bluetooth

My son has just bought a new controller off Argos for £50 after a search on the web it seemed like the best deal we could get (unless anyone knows of a better one? ) So this seems like a good deal to me as you get the dongle included (y)

What a great idea, I've made a note of that & thank you (y)

Not sure also why cold. Adaptor is quality, or an easy £15 on ebay. Getting any colour new xbox pad for sub-45 atm seems impossible.

gud man

Oos

To see if the cat is dead or alive.
