Anyone any advice between these two laptops?

the deal with the included smartwatch and backpack is excellent and not to be missed if you're in the market for a new laptop.

even if don't want/need the smartwatch you could fairly easily sell it for €100 as it's a good one and costs £130 new

so if you get a £15 voucher that's £535 + addresspal etc for the lot

I presume you could also use DPD in NI ?

Also there seems to be only the 256Gb SSD available.
You can get the Huawei version with a 512Gb SSD on Amazon for £50 more but not with the watch of course.

ssd is user up-gradable (clicks in and out) down the line of course. you're not stuck with that size forever.

it also has a memory card reader so you could stick an sd card for storage of media files etc which would be ok for that sort of file storage

I didn't realise SSD was click-in/out. This is great news. I got the 256GB version, so it's good to know I can do that in future.

Was lucky enough to get the silver.

Probably try sell the watch, as I doubt I'll use it.

€590 all in, happy with that.

anybody go with this and not receive an email confirmation? I got an order confirmation which i didn't keep expecting to receive e-mail confirmation but haven't received anything, I can see the payment is pending on my credit card. Have tried contacting customer support but it timed out on their side. anybody have the same issue? I cant see anything in my Honor account either that i created.

I was watching & they seem to have run out of them pretty quick so maybe that's it ?

You can still order them onsite but delivery date is 27th May for the silver & 3rd June for the grey.

Actually the confirmation e-mail went to my wifes e-mail address as its her account for delivery via Parcel Motel. I was able to eventually see the order in my honor account as pending delivery so think I'm good, looking forward to getting this now plus the watch!

not surprising.

it's a fantastic deal.

Temptation was to great so splashed out on a silver one on the HONOR Uk site.
As you said "fantastic deal"
You wouldn't get anything like it for the money anywhere else.
And with the watch added in was a no brainer.

The only difficulty I had was trying to get my full DPD Parcel Wizard address in.
Fifty characters between address line 1 & 2 meant any proper punctuation went out the window.
Have no idea where the fifty character limit came from ?

Looks like at least another 7-10 days before delivery asked on livechat this morning

Still says "Order will be delivered on 27th May" on the site for the silver version & 3rd June for the space grey ?
Maybe it was the space grey version live chat was talking about ?

(EDIT) I have just been on to them & "Some Magic Book will be shipped on 27th and 3rd of June, depending on the model."
That is shipping from the UK.

No sign of shipping for me yet anyway, I thought it would be delivered today going by the site.

Long weekend in UK probably upset their timeline. It also says "Awaiting delivery"
Its reduced by £5 on the site right now ?

I have just contacted them via live chat, this is the response

"Thanks, your order has been confirmed on our systems, shipment is usually within 1-2 working days, but please allow for a slight delay as we have had an influx of orders since the site launch last week, I'd imagine the order to ship by the end of the week, you will receive a shipment email with a tracking number once this has been dispatched"

was given the same response yesterday. Seems deal with the free gifts is no longer available. I was on early and it was first 50 pcs sold, then it went to 150 then 200. They must have been getting a good bit of interest on the website.

bit of patience lads, you got a bargain.

I'm easy, it'll get here when it gets here but I can understand the anxiety
I hadn't noticed that the free gift offer had ended until ClaptonBay said it.

EDIT: It also says the item is in stock.

It says "Order will be delivered on 27th May"
Is that next May or do they have time travel

Where's your order coming in to ?
Mine is through Parcel Wizard.
