For those looking for a swanky new compact laptop, Media Markt have a very good deal on the brand new HP Spectre X360 2-in-1 with very good specifications and it even includes a stylus pen to write on the screen which I tried and can confirm it works brilliantly.
1549chf @ Media Markt https://www.mediamarkt.ch/de/product...FSikUQodmo8CzA
Reviews https://www.google.ch/search?q=hp+sp...hrome&ie=UTF-8
------------ Pro's: - Very high specification with i7, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, touchscreen, fingerprint scanner and MicroSD card reader
- Very light and thin
- Very good build quality and keyboard
- The stylus pen feels almost like using a normal pen, it is incredibly smooth and responsive
- Great speakers
- Folds back into a tablet
Con's: - Screen is glossy and reflective and overall not as bright as matte non-touch screens
- Screen hinges don't seem super stiff
------------
The closest I can find costs 1'858chf at Microspot and instead has a 1TB SSD drive which isn't generally needed on a machine like this, and it has a MicroSD card reader to add more storage anyway.
I think it would be a great home media, work and travel notebook and the only thing that puts me off is the glossy screen (although this is standard for touchscreens) and lack of full size SD card reader.

I was hoping that the last gen (i.e. 2017 - last week) MacBook Pro models might have taken a price dive, given that the updated lineup was released. That doesn't seem to have materialised, but if anyone spots any discount 15 inch models, would be happy to hear about it.

On a related note:
iPad for 299: https://www.mediamarkt.ch/de/product...i-1836934.html
It's not the Pro model, but is has Apple Pencil support.
Which means it's the "latest" version. https://www.apple.com/chde/ipad-9.7/specs/
New iPad Pro models will be released in a couple of months.

Anyone else seen this deal?

Anyone else seen this deal? | | | | | Yes, and it is about "Smart Swiss". I rather prefer "Plus Swiss" and you get additionally:
- Calls: 60 min to the EU & USA
- Roaming in the EU & USA: 200 MB/month surf
This one I didn't see below 29chf.

Picked up a HP Pavillion with the same CPU and better GPU this summer for just under 800
Its a Pavilion 15-ck070nz to be exact.
Has no touch screen but np. Am actually not a touchy guy.
