Thanks....Any recommendation on SSD to buy? Is it easy to upgrade/swap? Sorry I dont know much on this subject

Out of stock again

Depends on what you're doing on it I guess. An SSD is far faster than the HDD - this'll speed up everything on the machine, but then it's not as much storage as the HP one. 128GB will probably be enough for general-everyday use - it might become a problem if you want to store lots of video/audio files on the machine rather than streaming (Spotify/Netflix/Amazon/iPlayer etc). Should be more than enough for your photos, and should run like a dream for most things you throw at it - the laptop has got a pretty good processor, with a decent amount of RAM for the price.

128gb isn't ideal obviously but between those two I'd probably still go for the Acer. An SSD is much quicker than a HDD and you're getting 8gb instead of 4gb. Those two factors are important for speed. With the money saved you could easily swap out the 128gb SSD for a larger one if it was a problem. Not sure if the code applies to Curry's. Maybe someone can confirm.

Need help. Which one is better compared to this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HP-15-da0596sa-15-6-Intel-Core-i5-Laptop-1-TB-HDD-Silver-Currys/132837018868 my brother says 128GB SSD is small and prefers the 1TB hard drive. Any other recommendation in that price range would be highly appreciated

Apparently the only type of laptop certified for use on the international space station.

Broken=no longer working, therefore cracked =/= broken. Unless you can find a better machine for less, i dont really see why you're criticising this? Personally, i'd spend a bit more and get one in better nick, and stick in a cheap SSD, BUT if someones not that fussy about the odd crack in the plastic then it is (was) a great deal.

Had a t420 for 5 years , steel hinges , windows 7 core i5 , 1366x768 unfortunately , cost £130 off eBay , mint condition , recently bought a Lenovo mini dock for it £ 15 shipped eBay , brand new , ThinkPads last FOREVER x

*Cheap laptops professionally refurbished at ITZOO Bit of glue, acrylic paint and a professional furniture repair wizard could've made it as good as new.

What's the 10% off code?

Can this take a graphic card

Struggle? Nah mate, 2nd gen (Sandy Bridge) CPUs are way more capable than you might think. The HDD is the biggest bottleneck and as always it's an SSD that will make the single biggest difference to the performance and responsiveness, more so than RAM (sure, memory does matter but it's impact is less dramatic than storage type). There's a lot of mileage left in the early generations of Intel's Core i-series CPUs offering bargains-a-plenty for the canny buyer, and this would make a great 1080P play-it-all media centre/HTPC for the price.

It's exactly the same cpu and hdd as the sold out version, just has less ram which can be easily sorted.

Worse. At 4gb, 2nd gen CPU and HDD it's going to struggle to do anything more than basic office tasks and web browsing.

Well as in the last 10 years we have never got any more than 1MB of net where we live as there is no fibre I dont think it would be an issue, BT told me the line can only handle a maximum of 2MB so these dongles are very good, can handle 10 times more than the BT line.

Good price while it lasted!

Id buy that now if it wasnt for the 24pin module in the way! Can you link me to the seller please.

Good price!

These cheapo cards won't work for anything above 20MB of net speed.

I did some digging and found it does have AES-NI :D https://ark.intel.com/products/75045 Would just need to add a USB network adapter that work with BSD - I have a couple I could have tried. Too bad it is OOS :(

The one thing I will say for the DP is that at least on mine the port is a fraction too far recessed in, so that you have to really force the adapter in hard and it doesn't always make the connection forcing a reboot. Add the weight of the adapter onto relatively heavy HDMI cables and the port gets a little loose over time making the connection a bit more fragile.

no problem. its brick and mortar store in coventry city, bought it two years ago after finding it on ebay. got it from store for £50 cheaper than ebay :D brill machine - just make sure you'll get version with at lest two usb3.0 ports.

Thats really helpful - thank you :) Its out of stock now so I'll have to keep my eyes peeled. Fone store? More details please if possible? This is why I love HUKD! Thank you

one screw to open and you're lucky - i'm using it for photoshop and lightroom (PS not advanced user). it works very well, can't complain. ask me any specifics if you want? i bought mine second hand from fone store and it came with lenovo warranty for another two years. support even once remoted in to check for drivers.

equally genius, now i have some options, thanks all

No worries, what I actually did with my daughters was replace the dvd drive within a hard drive caddy I got off amazon for £8, so then copied the OS over then put the SSD in the laptop and moved the old 1Tb hard drive to the caddy so use it as a storage drive.

genius! thank you sir

Get a usb to Sata connector, use some cloning software and copy your OS and data from the old drive to the new SSD then put the SSD in the laptop where the old HDD is.

Thanks, I'd thought about this and have just purchased a suitable SSD to give this a try. I assume you need to back everything up on the hard drive first and make a note of your Windows 10 registration to be able to install again?

Not shabby, but not to be expected to be any faster than laptops released out there back in 2010

I'd recommend putting Cloudready Chrome OS in this. It would make a nice Chromebook.

Sold out for me too 😔

Ordered worth a punt at thid price. I need a small pc for travel. Thanks.

Adds to Basket okay at my end? :/

Everything is sold out!!

it was £449 yesterday :)

That has a smaller screen than this deal, maybe a slightly nicer look to it but no real benefit over this one for £70 more

hows is that as an alternative between these two: https://www.box.co.uk/Acer-Aspire-C22-865-21.5-All-in-One-Des_2348182.html#DetailTop

I personally feel that 4GB of RAM is enough for the kind of people buying one of these machines, but you are getting a larger screen and it's worth mentioning this comes with wireless keyboard and mouse vs wired on the currys deal. You could spend that £50 saving on a wireless keyboard and another stick of 4GB RAM, then all you are losing out on is the bigger screen yet gaining a newer generation processor...hmmm. Tough choice for me.

Wasn't this the same Lenovo 'package' (Internet Security and all), that was around about the £329.99 price tag? (all in?), on the Lenovo website though?. Posted on here x-Week's back ... The OP's Deal is good still, as I paid more for a bit less, for the same Lenovo YOGA 510 more than 1 Year ago. It can be slow at time's (but mine was only 4GB RAM though (I'm sure the 8GB RAM in the OP's one would help it out heaps regardless?. X:-)

I think you'll find that I already have! No brainer, even for me. :D

Yeah thanks for that, missed out on it because I couldn't commit! Been a poor selection this year, always a huge compromise to be made unless you go a third over budget. Think they should rename them Bleak Friday and Blue Monday! Still tempted by this,though (y)

more recently there was the Acer Swift - better made than the spin but with no touch screen or 360' hinge

spherical objects to the man who calls himself HankHandsome,

Aha, ok then. You made a spurious claim about something you know nothing about and you're trying to bluff it out. No worries.

Either Read previous answers or wait on. I gave your question the weight it deserved.

I'm still waiting to hear how an OEM key can compromise your data ...

Then disable it: https://www.oo-software.com/en/shutup10 Unless O&O are MS stooges ;)

i didnt say it was a good deal...

That was completely lost on you wasn't it?

i guess you want to keep trying until your side wins :D . respect the result, stop moaning,whinging and stamping your feet saying it was unfair. your side lost, deal with it and move on, maybe in 10 years we have another vote. (y) having a brexit disscusion with a remoaner is like a broken pencil, pointless. toodle pip (highfive)

Ah, that old chestnut. If a democracy cannot change its mind, it ceases to be a democracy.

ah an anti democrate is in the house, maybe you need to understand how a democracy works, im sure google could help you if you ;)
