Price/spec verdict
What you get for the money
Useful basic new-laptop value if the code is accepted: the Ryzen 3 5400U and Full HD IPS screen are credible for the money, but 8GB RAM, 128GB storage and 250-nit brightness need accepting.

Terms that affect the real price
- The £211.65 total requires code LAPTOP15; confirm the code is accepted on item 10297574 before paying.
- The 128GB SSD is very small after Windows and updates; plan on an external drive or an internal storage upgrade if the model supports one.
- 8GB RAM is a basic capacity for 2026. The offer states a 16GB maximum, but confirm the slot arrangement and compatible module before upgrading.
- The 250-nit Full HD IPS screen is adequate indoors but dim for bright rooms or outdoor use.
- Windows 11 Home is supplied in S mode, and the physical UK keyboard layout is not explicitly stated in the accessible offer details.
Why it works
Reasons it is worth a look
- The four-core Ryzen 3 5400U is a more usable basic processor than the very weak entry chips often found around £200.
- A 15.6-inch 1920x1080 IPS display, Wi-Fi 6, two USB-C ports, HDMI 2.1 and a Full HD webcam make the everyday specification practical for the price.
- The 8GB DDR4 memory is listed as upgradeable to 16GB, which gives the laptop a useful improvement path for heavier browser and office multitasking.
