Terms of the previous offer
- ChromeOS is the decisive limitation: do not choose this for Windows-only desktop software, specialist course applications or PC gaming.
- The 8GB LPDDR5 memory is listed as the maximum capacity, so treat it as non-upgradeable.
- Amazon describes the screen as 1920x1200 LCD but does not establish brightness, colour gamut, finish or exact panel type.
- The exact listing states QWERTY and includes a UK plug, but confirm the physical keyboard legends on receipt if layout matters.
- The previous £269.99 deal has ended; the latest exact capture showed £330 without confirmed stock.
Why the previous offer stood out
- The previous new Amazon offer was in stock at £269.99, sent from and sold by Amazon, with no voucher or membership required.
- The Core i3-1315U, 8GB LPDDR5 and 256GB SSD exceed the weak processor, 4GB RAM and small eMMC combinations common in cheap Chromebooks.
- The 14-inch 1920x1200 display, 13-hour stated model battery life, 1.55kg chassis and included UK-plug adapter make it practical for study and web-based work.

Condition, warranty and price evidence
- Condition
- New
- Warranty
- The exact Amazon listing states a one-year manufacturer warranty and includes an AC adapter with UK plug.
- Eligibility
- The previous £269.99 new Amazon UK buy box has ended. The latest exact-ASIN capture showed £330 without confirmed live stock, so the old price is no longer recommended.
- Recorded availability
- Rechecked on 2026-09-03: exact Amazon ASIN B0B8H461TB returned £330 but did not establish a live in-stock new buy box. The previous £269.99 offer is no longer current; successful-verification dates remain unchanged.
