AI-generated summary
At £1,588.85 ex-VAT for an “Intel U7/16/256” business notebook with **no pen included**, the honest question is: what exactly are you getting over a cheaper, more common spec? For most day-to-day office work, that price doesn’t feel like value unless you truly need the CPU performance and the form factor/workflow this model supports. The “Pro 11” positioning usually makes people think “tablet-ish flexibility,” but if your teams aren’t going to use the pen (and you’re already told to buy it separately), you’re paying for a capability you’re not actually getting out of the box.
Who I’d actually recommend it for: organisations standardising on Microsoft’s touch/pen ecosystem and where staff will benefit from tablet-style use—field teams, line managers with lightweight “on the move” work, or anyone taking handwritten notes as part of their process. If you’re not pen-dependent, I’d be cautious: you’ll likely spend extra for the pen anyway, and at this budget point there are often better-value laptops for the same money that don’t require add-ons to justify the purchase. If you tell me what your users do (Sales, engineers, finance, reception, etc.) and whether they’ll be taking notes by hand, I can give you a clearer “buy vs pass” recommendation.
