In the market for a new laptop

timtim2016

Good day,
Looking to upgrade my now ancient acer. Looking for a 14 inch laptop, up to e600, preferably i5 or equal AMD version, 8gb ram and as much storage as possible. Debating between these 2 currently, any input would be hugely appreciated;

or

Thanks in advance

The first one looks like what I ordered on saveonlaptops earlier this week for €540. However it says "not available for order" now. It's also disappeared from my order so I'm hoping nothing's gone wrong there. https://www.saveonlaptops.co.uk/4RF18EAABU-HP-Notebook-14-ck0993na_2364480.html

That's better than the one from curry's, It has a full HD screen. Even at €600 it seems a fair price

Thanks a million, worth getting the extra warranty?

Tim,

Garrett is new here and was asking for advice himself about budget laptops only a couple of days ago.

Wait for guidance from someone with a bit more history here would be my advice. I’m rusty on PC stuff these days (Mac user) so I won’t comment myself on machine choice.

You're dead right JayZeus, I possibly should butt out, but reading the specs they are the same except the screen. It's the machine I put my money on after seeking advice and doing comparisons myself. There may be other factors at play I'm missing though.
