Terms of the previous offer
- The £249 price is not a normal public price; it depends on Discount for Carers code eligibility and checkout acceptance.
- 8GB DDR4 RAM is the main limitation for long-term multitasking; check upgradeability before relying on future expansion.
- The screen is basic: Full HD IPS-level/LED with 45% NTSC colour, so it is not for colour work.
- Currys blocked direct live-page confirmation during this run, so confirm live stock, final basket price and delivery before buying.
Why the previous offer stood out
- The £249 restricted-code price is low for a new mainstream 15.6in Windows laptop with a recent Intel Core 5 120U processor.
- 512GB SSD storage is more comfortable than the 128GB/256GB often seen in the cheapest laptops.
- The available product text lists Wi‑Fi 6, multiple USB-C/USB-A ports, HDMI and Windows 11, so it covers everyday connectivity well.

Condition, warranty and price evidence
- Condition
- New
- Warranty
- 1 year manufacturer guarantee listed in the available product text
- Eligibility
- The best price depends on obtaining a £100 Currys laptop code via Discount for Carers; otherwise judge it at Currys’ public £349 price.
- Recorded availability
- Latest recheck on 2026-06-17 found the previous restricted-code price should be treated as ended/unverified. Currys remains blocked to automated checks, so do not rely on the old code price without a fresh checkout check.
