differentg processors?

leemaree

I looked at both Argos and PC world and they both list different processors for the same laptop. Am I correct and saying two different processors but everything else is right I think? Could u guys tell me if I am right or wrong

Argos

PC World

Based on the spec provided, it looks like the Argos one is missing the SSD.

Basically it looks like the PC World laptop has the OS on the SSD which allows the laptop to boot up a hell of a lot quicker.

Also the difference between the CPU is quite minimal.

So you reckon I should get the PC World one although it's dearer?

Its an SSHD, not a real SSD, performance benefits will be minimal. Dont bother, buy the cheaper unit + a real SSD from amazon and you'll end up with a far faster machine for similar money.

If I buy the cheaper unit from Argos, then a real SSD from Amazon, how will it be faster as its not built in to laptop?

If buying separately you'll probably only be able to have one and not both. An SSD would be limited on space compared to a 1TB HDD.

An SSHD is a nice balance between the both.
