Laptop deals...

looking for a new laptop- budget of £350-400

Main use will be ms office based, but will do some image editing occasionally, and browsing.

Tempted by the Lenovo yoga on special offer at currys as a half way house between tablet and laptop.

Anyone come across any good deals lately?

Thanks for the feedback all, looking like I'm going to go for one of these-

Over budget but, with the £200 trade in for sending them an old laptop back, brings the price back to £310 inc VAT.

ordered one of these a year ago for someone else (having spotted it on tech radar deals site), and have been pretty impressed by it for the money. Hadn't realised the trade in deal was still on.

Have also always preferred to go for a cheaper laptop, and replace every few years- but was surprised when I checked my current Packard bell- it's now on it's eighth year, having done a fair bit of image editing. Short of a few re-installs, a new battery and a new keyboard it's run ok until recently, and would probably survive with a new hard drive, but given it only set me back £300 all that time ago I don't think it owes me much- and I don't think a £1200 Apple Mac would have done much better.

Way over budget but an iPad Pro with keyboard has a far far superior screen to most laptops and its great for other things. However, even with 128Gb storage or 256, it isn't really a laptop replacement but more of a support device.

I've got a Surface Pro 4 as a work computer- which is a very impressive and useful piece of kit, and has a cracking screen, but is limited in terms of the software I can install on it- which makes my laptop a desktop replacement almost... The Surface works very nicely- but at over 4 times the cost of the new laptop, it really should work well!
