Check the model year and chipset — last year’s model is often heavily discounted but may miss key features.
Battery & connectivity
Real-world battery life and the wireless standards (Wi‑Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, USB‑C) matter more than headline specs.
Warranty & support
UK warranty length and whether repairs are handled locally varies by retailer and grey-import sellers.
Reviews over star count
Read the 3‑star reviews — they surface the real trade-offs a 5‑star average hides.
