Windows 10 Deals & Offers

Very similar I would say. Except the PS4 Pro pushes all games to run in active 4K which means sometimes textures suffer on behalf of resolution. On a laptop you get to choose whether you want better details in lower resolution or lower details in 4K. If you just play on its built in screen you don't need 4K anyway, only if you were going to use a TV to connect to it.

How would this laptop compare to a PS4 Pro for running the latest games? Thanks

I have to second that as well. I installed a Samsung 960 EVO 250GB for £30 off eBay and used Macrium Reflect, all I can say is wow what a difference. When I first got it I was ready to return it, arrived and they hadnt wiped it, took 5 minutes to start up. Wiped and flashed it and so laggy and slow. But now I have installed an SSD and booting from that its 10 seconds and I'm starting up games and programs! Its an awesome laptop at an incredible price!

Macrium Reflect is amazing!

Update. I removed the Optane drive and Installed the 500Gb WD Black NvMe SSD. At first I was dubious about opening the case to install the SSD but I found a video and found it very easy. Used Macrium Reflect to clone the 1Tb HD with all partitions (including the restore partition). Now windows boots up in less than 12 seconds...Im amazed by the speed of this drive. My son installed Black Mesa and was getting between 270 to 300 fps. I honestly think this is amazing bargain, and installing the NvMe SSD has made a massive improvement on a already good gaming laptop. Do it, you wont regret it.

Same here. Staff training is essentially going off watching these videos in your own time instead of class led instructors in the company's time.

Might sign up for this over weekend, thanks for the share.

Do you have a link for this VS sign up ?

I have access to this through work, good CCNP videos on there

This perfectly coincides with my 3 days off work, I know what I'll be doing heh

Tell that to Microsoft and their Surface line or Apple - hasn’t stopped any of them. If you’re such a power user you should be looking at a much higher end machine anyway not an ASUS VivoBook.

... but can it run Crysis?

Big difference between a lightning deal and an accidental misprice though

It's going between 0-2% regularly. I'm tempted, or thinking of the Dell Inspiron from John Lewis as a 2 in 1 with half the SSD and an i5 or splashing £200 more on the HP Envy with i7, 16Gb, 512 SSD and touch screen

I wouldn't bother. Amaxon will just cancel this like the other deal on here

Tony Montana will bury them both. With all them scramblers and shi! At thirteen five a key, it's puro.

is grade b better tobuy or better to wait for grade a to be released? other T450 listing available but has pressure marks on screen itzoo.co.uk/col…-10

I've just changed a screen on the 560p. Very straightforward. 14" screen will be about £35. I went for a hd screen but you may be able to fit an ips if the connectors are the same. Takes about 45 mins to change

I can confirm that these are waterproof xD

How simple is replacing the screen on these bad boys?

Missed it, good site to keep an eye on though

DOH!!, it's a shame I missed this one ... :-(

Heat for this. I remember having to do something in PowerShell, it was painful, I guess I just didn't want to learn something else. I think it just didn't feel intuitive to me. I appreciate Linux/Unix or even DOS for that matter after having to use this.

Nice one cheers

Surprise, the new streamlined driver is now available, at last! https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/rn-rad-win-19-2-3

£557 today for me,

Which laptop is better..? Is this or below; Huawei got 2 years waranty from Amazon and pros are good aluminium build, performance, no heating where as hp as powerful i7, less price,excellent performance, no heating, fast but 1 year waranty from currysHP 14-ck0599sa 14" Intel® Core™ i7 Laptop - 256 GB SSD, Gold was £579 with voucher £521.10 PC World

AMD hasn't abandoned the chip, and the driver situation still is horrendous, but they announced they'll release a streamlined driver soon, which should fix most of the issues.

Update: I bought one. It's a nice notebook. Initial thoughts; Pros: • Feels real premium. Solid aluminium. • Fast. Boot times are particularly cool. No time spent in BIOS. • Keyboard is decent, spacious • Screen is good. Better than the usual run-of-the-mill laptop screen but not retina excellence. Almost invisible bleed along the edges, you can barely see it. • Very quiet, heard a few fan spin-ups on the browser, not getting warm either. • I've seen the internals on a third-party teardown. The battery inside is massive but no personal experience off the charger just yet. Neutral • Speakers adequate. Far from bad, in fact, good by laptop standards but the unit would benefit massively from somesort of micro-subwoofer - then again, it's so thin I doubt there's much wasted space inside. • The webcam is OK. It's just OK. Run-of-the-mill 720p selfie-cam with a fair amount of noise. Suffices for the job. • No room inside for an extra HDD because this model's battery is so big and goes over the extra bay present in the Intel variant. So 256GB is what you get. Cons: • The AMD drivers are out of date. YouTube flickers green here and there, it appears the AMD driver situation has been going on for a year - so not the stress you should have from a new laptop based on a chipset that's been around awhile. The situation is beyond poor here once you do some reading. AMD have pretty much abandoned the 2500u and left it's drivers broken even though it's new. Huawei's driver is months old and it wouldn't surprise me if it's the driver from launch. AMD's website doesn't find new drivers since it's Huawei's responsibility to provide them. And they haven't. So graphics acceleration is broken in Chrome at least. Gaming could be worse; this isn't the sort of thing you get with Intel integrated graphics - and Intel may have something to do with the driver support (they may be the contracted developer, not sure). The driver situation is the only thing that sucks with this notebook and it sucks bad. • Default install is 1803 and after Windows Update you'll lose a bit of the precious SSD space. There's also a 15GB recovery partition. Manually installing Windows 1809 saved some 30GB, time. Just be sure to use a FAT32 (not NTFS) USB, disable Secureboot and use en-gb home x64 as that's the included BIOS license. AIOboot is good. NTLite also.

Mine got here all safe and sound, just unwrapped it - smells like new plastic to me :) Now time to start the long disk testing process...

Mine arrived this morning. I've not unpacked it yet. Should I be smelling for anything in particular?

Anyone got theirs yet? How does it smell?

Thanks op I had looked at the USB attached ver at £460 but this is so much better.

That's what I did with the 2 10TB Reds I got out of a MyBook Duo I got from Amazon a couple of weeks back.

thanks ive had a look for the application but none seem to be compatible with windows 10.

According to Dell that model (E5450) was only available for manufacturing year 2015, was replaced by E5470 in 2016. So its 4 years old (ish) but still sounds like you got a great deal and great condition laptop!

Yeah i got the a class one for 144 quid and it looks great for what it is- the battery charger still had some tape on it so either newer than i thought or hardly used. its tricky to found out the exact age but it seems really good for the money (and what i bought it for).

Now you mention it i don't think i saw the backlit funtion either (will check again later) but found this i.e. you might need to install the app and use that to put the brightness up. https://www.dell.com/community/Laptops-General-Read-Only/Latitude-laptop-backlit-keyboard-not-working/m-p/3970081#M680785

anyone have issues with the advertised backlit keyboard mine is not working?.
