Terms that affect the real price

  • 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 browser verification during this run, so confirm live stock, final basket price and delivery before buying.

Why it works

Reasons it is worth a look

  • 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.
