Terms of the previous offer
- The previous £399 price depended on a restricted portal route and was not reverified in the latest check.
- Direct Currys stock and delivery still need a final retailer-page or basket check before buying.
- The Full HD 60Hz screen is basic; the appeal was mainly the earlier low price for Core 7, 16GB RAM and 1TB SSD.
Why the previous offer stood out
- £399 is strong for a new 14in Windows laptop with Intel Core 7 150U, 16GB RAM and a 1TB SSD.
- The 1TB SSD gives much more breathing room for documents, photos and offline files than the 256GB/512GB drives common in budget laptops.
- 16GB RAM and a recent efficient Intel processor make it a safer everyday/study pick than the cheapest 8GB machines.

Condition, warranty and price evidence
- Condition
- New
- Warranty
- Currys/ASUS warranty terms need confirming on the live product page; assume standard new-laptop retailer/manufacturer warranty unless Currys states otherwise.
- Eligibility
- The earlier £399 price depended on eligible discount-portal access and was not reverified. Current public evidence points to about £499; only treat it as a deal if a fresh portal basket confirms a lower price.
- Recorded availability
- Rechecked on 2026-07-08: public Currys/search snippets showed product 10284853 at about £499 with Core 7 / 16GB / 1TB details, but the direct Currys page was not fully accessible and the older £399 restricted-portal route was not reverified.
