I received the above 16"  option (now at £339 ) from AO.com in less than 24 hours free delivery but it was sold by AO via its ebay  shop with a 20% ebay discount so I paid £274 its still value today at £339 vs anything at Currys 
The ram can be upgraded at a later date too.

I wouldnt touch Currys its ok to view  test and feel the weight etc 
My suggestion is consider the 16" at £339 above from AO.com as its a cost effective compromise .
I x usb port ,1 x usb C port ,300nit screen 16" screen its the same laptop/laptop family as in your second photo
Except its not £499 its £160 less delivered


AO rang me just after I paid online via ebay to offer a £7 a month insurance plan which I declined  you dont insure  cheap laptops its a waste of money.
They also gave me warranty and other info help and their customer service ph number was logged.

Feel free to browse in Currys, but when it comes to parting with your hard earned money avoid them like the plague.

Take a look at the Dell Outlet site.

Just checked the main Dell website and they also have some good deals on the Inspiron range.

Haven't we heard that before?

I have a Dell Inspiron 16" which I bought a few years ago from the Dell Outlet Store - it was 'as new'

The comments on HUKD since you posted this aren't too complementary in terms of the Currys price. 

If Word and Excel don't work on your new purchase you can get Libreoffice for free.

Everytime you have suggested a Currys laptop...you suggest  it isnt bad yet it can be found cheaper or with better specs or both ? 

Currys is for those needing a shopping experience where you pay more for less... its a bucket store 
You wanted to spend up to £600 
The options linked are alot less than 600..... and less than whatever Currys lists at even with its fake discounts .

All are compromises unless you spend alot more

Personally would go for Ryzen.
intel i5-1355u is faster, but that laptop can't upgrade RAM in future.

IMO, Ryzen 7 5700u + 16GB RAM are better for general use in long term.

So shall I get windows on ebay or the free online version?  And anti virus?
