Hi mike.....thanks for posting all this info, it was really helpful. I ended up going for the hp 15 i3 4005u 8gb, ITB model from John lewis but agree the i5 5200 was the better buy....I found out today that the HP 15 i3 4005u I purchased will be replacing a HP 11 with a AMD A4-1250 (1Ghz) with 4GB and 320gb........and after looking at the benchmarks the i3 is over 3times better on nearly every test, so even tho its not the best I'm sure the user will see "massive" improvement!...:wink: thanks again and kind regards

Ah, I'm with you :smiley: yes. That's now down by another 3 quid btw. £287.
One of the best laptop deals I've seen tbh.

Personally I'd spend the £286.99 for the faster CPU but if £250 is max:
£239.99 http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/hp-255-g4-laptop-4gb-ram-1tb-hdd-269-99-with-30-cashback-ebuyer-2318114
or
£249.99 http://www.saveonlaptops.co.uk/59433795-Lenovo-G50_1834915.html

It does not.

Its 4GB and 500GB. Still worth the trade-off imo.

They are all gone :disappointed:

Out of stock :disappointed:

Mike, the 15" more money, does that come with 1tb disk and 8gb memory?

Intel Core i3-4005U - Lenovo G50/HP 15 Laptop @ £239.99/£249.99 - CPU Mark: 2467
Intel Core i5-5200U - HP 250 G4 @ £286.99 - CPU Mark: 3544
AMD A8-7410 - HP 255 G4 @ £239.99 - CPU Mark: 2587

So the HP 250 G4 CPU is 43% faster for 15% more money.

Looks like John Lewis now sold out.....this must have been a good deal to be out of stock so quickly!:wink: Thanks OP!!:wink:....was able to pick one up before they all went......

I'm looking for a laptop for my son, for college work, he's going to be putting photoshop on it etc, would this be any good???

I'm looking for a laptop for my 9 year old

He wants it mainly to play mine craft and some other games -
Would this be any good

Could some one please give me advise as I do not have a clue about laptops and what any of the specs mean

Looking for sumat for frequent browsing with multiple tabs open in browser, mic office & YouTube.

Would this be good at multitasking the above?

Or would the cheaper laptops/notebooks posted here be adequate for my needs?

Thanks

Neither less a great deal
