Price/spec verdict
£285.99: what you get for the money
Strong CPU value at £285.99 if the refurb code still applies, but it is best for buyers who accept the 8GB RAM and basic TN screen compromises.

Terms that affect the real price
- 8GB LPDDR5 RAM is a real long-term limitation, especially if it is not upgradeable; choose 16GB if you want it to last many years.
- The available product text says Full HD TN display, so viewing angles/colour will be basic.
- Refurbished very good condition still needs cosmetic, battery, warranty and returns checks.
- Direct retailer verification was blocked in this run, so confirm stock and coupon application on eBay before buying.
Why it works
Reasons it is worth a look
- Core i5-12450H is unusually strong CPU performance for under £300 if the refurbished code price is still available.
- 512GB SSD is practical for a budget Windows laptop and better than the 256GB often found at this price.
- The slim chassis and USB-C/Windows 11 everyday spec make sense for office, browsing and study use.
