Yes it is a laptop. A cheap one!

Now the question is, what does the user want to use it for?

Slightly smaller hard drive, slightly inferior CPU but £60 cheaper, and it has a DVD writer:

A 15.6" laptop, with no optical drive?

I'd expect that on a small laptop (my 10.1" Medion hasn't got one, but it does have USB 3.0, HDMI, 500GB HDD and a Webcam), but not on a large one.

A bit overpriced imo, but then again, laptops always are. Second hand is the way to go if you want a bargain

Buy from John Lewis (because you get a 2 year warranty as standard) or Costco (because you get a 2 year warranty and a 90-day any-reason-return). Both companies sell cheapies.
