OH wants to know if you can watch tv on this? maybe catchup tv? and why is it so expensive, what are you paying for that's special? And what is the diff between an "ultrabook" and a laptop?

yes, it's so expensive because of the spec, ssd, ultrabook (lightweight/thin compared to a normal laptop), screen etc

you could buy something for £300-400 capable of watching tv easily

He seems really taken by this one, but I thought we might be paying a lot of money for stuff we won't use. Is his money and up to him, but I said I would ask on here re TV Is there anything to look out for with these or are they ok generally? And TY!

That is too expensive!
To claim the machine as 'ultrabook', it need to meet certain criteria set out by intel.
You could probably find other lower end touch screen i5 ultrabook starting from £800.

you could probably get a laptop, a real tv, and an ipad for the same price
