Just saw this advertised on the telly, it looks like a great deal of laptop (Haswell i5 processor, 8gb of Ram, 1tb Hard-drive).

So for £400 is it a good deal or one to avoid?
(I have tried searching for reviews, but couldn't find any reviews of laptops which matched the specs)

I'm also thinking the same thing! Looks a cracking deal! I stupidly spilt coke all over my laptop 2 days ago and it's looking like I'm gonna be needing a new one, if I do I think I'll be going for this one.2012 - £350.88

It's a pretty decent machine for the money, go for it. Not a gaming machine by any stretch, but should be very comfortable with most tasksSquirrel!If I tell you who I work for, I'm not allowed to help you. If I don't say, then I can help you with questions and fixing products. Regardless, there's still no secret EU law.

Just be sure it can be upgraded to Windows 8.10

I'm also considering this machine, how can you tell if it can be upgraded to 8.1? I assumed all Windows 8 installations would be upgradable?0

On looking in store to have a 'play' with some of the laptops on display I noticed this Toshiba C55-a-1n1 for £480, looks like the same specs but a "M" (compared to that HP's "U") code on the end of the processor [which seems to be better on benchmarking]
Is the extra £80 worth it to get a Toshiba (any horror stories with overheating etc?) with that processor?

The U on the processor is for a low-voltage one - less power, but better battery life. I tend to find the Toshibas are a bit cheaper looking & feeling, but you may find different, so have a look at them.Squirrel!If I tell you who I work for, I'm not allowed to help you.

As long as it can be attached to my current monitor and speakers I'm happy.
It's a !!!!!! I can't remember the model number of the HP laptop I purchased in Mid-November which decided to die a death the following day (just wouldn't switch on, and hence returned for a refund).0
