I think I read it there too which is why I gave them a call. It may be that you can use discount codes with price reductions but can't use two discount codes at the same time.

Thanks a lot for posting this, that's the father's Christmas present sorted. Upgrading him from a Moto E which is constantly running out of storage despite using a microsd also for apps that can use expanded storage.

Some negative feedback heading Amazons way this year. Plenty of scam artist this year on the site.
You expect some it and it happenes everywhere. But the majority of the 40%> offers are scams and the product was never listed for the proce they say it was.

For example
Fitness watcher

Most of the clothes, bags, small tech items were never the price they say they were.

Amazon in general is getting overcrowded with 3rd parties. I would like to filter all site for just sold by Amazon. I also miss highest sold instead of their version of popular or trending.

This one seems to be the cheapest Pentium equipped laptop on Amazon, 14" screen, 4GB RAM, reasonably thin & light. The storage capacity is however limited at 64GB, but better than the 32GB of similarly priced models. £230 on Amazon, which seems to be on deal as it was £289 a few days ago going by the 3Camels.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B074JBQ5XB

Another option would be the following laptop at Argos, which also has a Pentium CPU, but with a 128GB SSD, 1 year Office 365 subscription and a carry case.

€350 (Ireland) - http://www.argos.ie/ProductDisplayTRK019?partNumber=7523683
£279 (UK/Northern Ireland) - http://www.argos.co.uk/product/7543821

Definitely make sure to get a laptop with an ssd above all else if it's just for light office work. A Pentium procesor will be fine. Basically stay away from atom processors and old lowest Pentiums and make sure it has 4gb ram and an ssd drive. Check out laptopsdirect.ie for best value really.

I remember I got a touchscreen 14 laptop with an i3 4gb and 128gb ssd for 384eur so worth to go through their selection as well as the refurbs!

Cheers. Think I'll go for the Amazon one. Is it decent enough for light work?

It'll be adequate for light general office work such as Word processing and spreadsheets, web browsing, social media and streaming.

For offloading photos or video such as from a digital camera or phone, I strongly recommend getting an external hard drive. For editing such content, it'll be fine for basic photo editing such as minor touch-ups, cropping, etc. It will struggle with video editing. Many video editing suites such as Vegas Movie Studio will not install on the 32-bit OS that typically comes with low capacity laptops.

While the cheaper Atom and Celeron models are generally fine for light usage, they can become painfully slow when Windows 10, Office, etc. install updates in the background. This is particularly true for laptops that are intermittently used such as 2-3 times a month or less, leading to Windows installing a backlog of updates the next time it's switched on.

Ugh, certain items I wanted are "Prime Only". Up yours Amazon and your apathy to small countries when you become the only place to get some stuff from *rambling*.....

Sign up for the free prime trial ( don't forget to cancel again).
If you signed up before just use a different email address.

Picked up a Fire HD 8 tablet, great price for it.

Does anyone have any recommendations of a good value case to get for it?

Too much junk on the site not as described and fake reviews

That can't be good for Amazon

Slutmonkey57b

I've been watching Amazon all week and there hasn't been a single interesting bargain. Lots of crap in the under 20 quid bucket and noting that you wouldn't get a discount on any other day of the year.

None of the rest are any better mind you.

Yeah I don't want the hassle of making a trial (and making a new email) every time. If I really need something and it's the only option I will but if it's for a deal I'll just pay more elsewhere (preferably an Irish-located retailer) out of spite.

Lads looking at experia x on warehouse deals saying used very good what's the chances it pass for new as a present. Anyone any experience

slave1

If it does not say scratches on the item I'd take it, AMZ are very accurate with descriptions.
I've had 4 deliveries of AMZ Warehouse deals I bought at midnight AM Monday morning so far and I only bought as new/very good.
All are perfect, just packaging damage, all still sealed inside the box

I used to be able to view these deals in a list with the ones about to be released next as in ordered by the time the deal starts.


Am I missing something completely here because I can't seem to do that anymore

same here

i also don't see any of the prime only deals....

there is half price bepanthen cream tho' for anyone with nappy rash...

huntsman77

Grand says could have scratches but less than 0.6 mill in length it was highest grade in warehouse without buying new so hoping like you said maybe just packaging damaged or that.

Horses for courses, I got 22 items from my huge and constant basket and all great value.
Highlights were
8tb external hard drive for £134 (I think, lots in that order)
Moto G5S plus for €201
Moto G4 as new for £78
Morphy Richards soup maker as new for £36
Used heat gun for £14
Used micro chip cat flap £34

All the above I was going to buy for XMas anyhow so saved a good sum.
Also got lots of books as used and 20% off prices

All I'm after now is a nVidia GTX 1060 GPU then I'm done, will get it by Cyber Monday

Can someone help me identify the device I need?

I use a Win 10 laptop with Dropbox for all documents and Google to host email for work and personal stuff 24/7 but when travelling on flights i order to keep thing light and simple (hand luggage only) so use my android phone and an old Nexus tablet with a Bluetooth keyboard which between them allow me to watch movies/TV series, keep up to date with and respond to email, review documents etc. but whilst the the Android tablet is grand for watching movies and reading news etc online it's very poor for work related tasks so I'm thinking about getting a low cost Win 10 Notebook like this £150 bargain but I don't know if that's a good deal/bad deal, good idea/bad idea.

If there is someone here with a combination of Amazon Black Friday bargain knowledge and up to date portable Notebook type options I'd sure appreciate a steer. I don't want to jump in and buy something which I'll quickly regret or which won't suit my needs.

Cheers.

Thanks, I bought too after your post. 201 and 8 for shipping pretty good.

Deco99

Got a delonghi coffee machine, 89 £ when I put in my basket this morning. Came back in afternoon and it was gone up to 139£ and sold out. But when I went to basket I was able to buy for 89£ but no shipping date. Anyone know if this will eventually be cancelled or take forever to deliver?

I'm looking for 6 * E14 Hue colour, best price I seem to see is to buy them individually at £40 each.

Also looking for 4 * GU10 Hue colour, again best price I can see is for 3 GU10 starter pack with the Hue bridge for £90 which is a good price also but then to buy one more it costs £50

Sounds to me like you need an iPad tbh. I bought the iPad pro and more or less stopped carrying a laptop with me.

here's a couple of video reviews on that.
one positive, one negative. could be ok for basic stuff but certainly not perfect.
pretty cramped keyboard due to the size so you could be better going for an 11.6 or 12 inch model
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZN_6H9b-cn8
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrDHJK9UYpU

this would be a better option I think from an actual known manufacturer for 140 euro
https://www.laptopsdirect.ie/refurbished-acer-aspire-es1-132-11.6-intel-celeron-n3350-4gb-32gb-emmc-win-a1-nx.ghlek.001/version.asp
has 4gb of ram, as opposed to 2gb which would make a big difference in terms of running items smoothly. also celeron is better than atom.
it's still light at 1.2kg . wouldn't be worried about refurbished aspect.
here's a review of that model (but with 2gb ram).
https://www.notebookcheck.net/Acer-Aspire-ES1-131-Notebook-Review.146308.0.html
go to verdict at bottom.
seems like it's what you're looking for and cheaper than amazon option even.

Looking at https://uk.camelcamelcamel.com/EFOSHM-Wireless-Activity-Fitness-Wristband-Black/product/B01CI3UBXM it was once higher.

I'm finding a few "Just Launched" sellers with super low prices from maybe 8 items. Two have disappeared since this morning.
