Seems like a very good deal. 4GB RAM might be a bit low to some but with the SSD it should be nice and quick. Perfect for college students or home users even.

For €385 delivered, it completely blows anything you'd buy over here for a similar cost out of the water.

Nice find

I bought a similar HP model recently.
Bear in mind though that they are very plasticky units ,flimsy .
Screen isnt very bright either .

Ah I just bought a new laptop 2 days ago! Was searching on here, but there were no recent recommendations!
Lucky this wasn't way better than the one i choose.. For the 200e less!

I paid 500e for this.. AMD A4 Quadcore 1.8ghz, 256gb SSD, 16gb ram, 2gb Radeon R3 gfx

is an A4 not a rubbish processor? 16gb RAM seems crazy for such a low end processor.

In all honesty- its nothing major having a 128Gb SSD- they're about 35-40 quid these days. Its a reasonable enough laptop- but a bit dated- and the price is so-so. I'd suggest getting the lowest priced laptop you can get with dedicated graphics- and tossing a SSD in it- rather than going with this.

Its worth paying the £80 extra for something like this (from the same site)

What's the point of that though? The 920M is rubbish and anything that runs on it would also run on Intel HD graphics.

HP looks like a better buy to me IMO. The 920M card isn't great anyhow. Plus no SSD, just a dog slow 5400rpm HDD... nevermind the older processor. Plus it's £80 more..

That is quite frankly the oddest spec I've ever seen configured to any laptop...Poor processor and graphics paired with a heap of RAM and an SSD.....

It meets the minimum specs for No Mans Land, purely by virtue of having the dedicated graphics. Pick up a reasonable sized SSD and swap it out with the hard drive, Amazon had a 480gb Crucial @ 68 quid last week. Up it to 8gb RAM and off you go..... You'll probably get most of the price of the SSD for the harddrive on Adverts, and RAM is dirt cheap.

Tempted. Just retuned a laptop to Lenova to Amazon that went tits up. 8 months old.

Thinking about dropping the 1200 on a Mac book. For that kind of coin I could prob get a serious speced Windows laptop.

Worrh adding that this laptop has two RAM slots, with only one in use (4gb stick x1)

So very easily upgraded to 8gb or even 12gb.

Lovely to see cheaper laptops getting decent capacity SSDs. Hard to believe Apple still charge 1399 for their Macbook Pro with the same disk size!

The I3 model is available for €340 on the same site. My own laptop is only a I3 and it does perfectly fine for what I've underlined in your op.

Do you not think the extra bit of power in the i5 is worth it for an extra €45? Bit of futureproofing too.

I'm not sure really, just going by my machine and it works grand for itunes, office and general web browsing. That €45 could be the deal breaker for someone on a budget.

Game's don't distinguish between dedicated/integrated. The official specs might state Nvidia/AMD only supported to cover themselves but the 920M is so weak that it's no real advantage over integrated and definitely not worth paying for.

The 920M is matched by Intel integrated in manycases. No man's land runs fine on Intel HD 4th/5th/6th gen HD graphics.

I've used a 920M and even at 1024x768 low settings Battlefield 4 (a 2013 title) barely ran.
