    Afternoon,

    I'm in the market for a new laptop and I'd set myself a budget of around 600 max and I've come up with these 2

    HP-Pavilion-14-B006SA-C5R78EA from amazon.co.uk

    or a refurb touchscreen
    hp-pavilion-x360-13-s052sa from luzern tech

    apologies, but cant post links

    which represents better bang for buck or is there anything better out there for similar price.

    Thanks in advance, much obliged

    Is that the Amazon one?

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/HP-Pavilion-14-B006SA-C5R78EA-Graphics/dp/B00A927YB2

    Looks terrible to me. It's got to be a few years old at this point.

    I presume that's the other one? I don't know how much I'd trust Luzerntech, but I don't have any experience with them myself. So you'll need to do a bit of research. The laptop looks fine, but the 128GB storage is very limited. Although it being an SSD is a plus since it should make it very fast for most ordinary tasks.

    yep, thats them alright. the space wouldnt be that much of an issue as I tend to stream rather than download stuff and all my music, photos and vids are on the cloud anyway.

    Thanks for the input, much appreciated
