Price/spec verdict
What you get for the money
Strong new-laptop value at this price: the Ryzen AI 5 340, 16GB DDR5, 512GB SSD, 100% DCI-P3 IPS screen and two-year guarantee form an unusually balanced specification below £500.

Terms that affect the real price
- The display is 60Hz and 300 nits, so it is suitable indoors but not a high-refresh or especially bright outdoor screen.
- Radeon 840M integrated graphics are fine for everyday work and light creative tasks, not demanding gaming.
- The retailer lists a backlit QWERTY keyboard and the exact MPN is a UK model, but check the product photos if a specific physical key layout matters.
Why it works
Reasons it is worth a look
- The six-core Ryzen AI 5 340, 16GB DDR5 and 512GB SSD are a stronger all-round combination than the older processors and 8GB memory often found around £500.
- The 14-inch 1920x1200 IPS panel is rated at 300 nits and 100% DCI-P3, giving it a better colour specification than many budget-laptop screens.
- At 1.47kg with a 60Wh battery, two USB-C ports and a two-year John Lewis guarantee, the specification works well for commuting, study and everyday office use.
