5 years later report.... Endes up going back and being replaced under extended john Lewis warranty. They tried several times to get the touch pad repaired each time it sort of worked and then failed again. So had it replaced at 1 year and 11 month old.
Put full value plus an extra 200 i think into an asus u340 or 440? Which had a 3 year warranty (John Lewis again extends it) inc damage for the full three years.
This new asus (2 or 3 years old now) is perfect. The current mbp came out the same month but even going to the middle tier model (£1750?) it didn't give me much more than the asus.
Asus is 6th gen i5, 8gb medium speed ram, a reasonable ssd, almost 4k screen (14" so honestly 1080p would have been fine, has good brightness and contrast), screen folds all the way back making it into a giant tablet (use this a lot for reading magazines like single-track etc), battery life is epic, never less than 4 hours, can be as high as 10 if you eek it out. Build quality is fantastic, equal to an mbp, poss a better keyboard imo. Most asus you see in the shops are plastic framed with a thin piece of metal screwed om the outside, this one feels like it was hewn out of billet (its not but it feels that solid).
No break downs, only issue is touch pad sometimes freaks out (firmware isnt the best). Touch screen i use occasionally for tablet mode and for light room, but could take it or leave it
