The Probooks are much better quality laptops and cheaper too if you trade-up.
I have compare HP 250 with Probook side by side before, HP 250 is not good, Probook is so much better.
Do not buy non-FHD, on-board GPU consumer laptops for £300 nowadays. There are normally better quality business laptops with same/similar specs at similar/cheaper price. You pay the same/less money for better laptops.
If can trade-in, probook with i5-6200u, or i3-6100u with M.2 SSD is around £200.
Bought some of these for our school (minus the SSD). Good, solid laptops with a decent screen, good keyboard and (an increasing rarity in PC notebooks) a good touchpad.
That price with an SSD and a current gen Skylake i5 processor is an absolute bargain. That's going to be a very good laptop for a good few years. Get one.

Good price for an ssd drive laptop. Bit small but a lot of stuff can be kept in the cloud. Heat added.

Difference between 120GB and 240GB HDD is around £15. Why put such small drives in the first place?

Can you select to upgrade the RAM as part of the deal, i cant seem to find an option to do this?
At least, we're starting to see low-mid priced PC's with SSD's installed.... it's amazing so few laptop and desktops from HP, Dell etc have SSD's and it makes such a difference.
I just hope LaptopDirect actually have this in stock, I recently ordered a very well priced Dell desktop from them and they said they had no stock, then the price goes up a few days later and they're still showing stock...and then it goes back down low again as they have done for the month after I tried to buy one.

Why? Cannot the same SanDisk or Crucial SSD used in Windows machines be put in a Mac?
I am referring to prices of drives and not computers sold. If a 240GB SSD costs £10-£15 more than a £120GB at source, it seems rather ridiculous to put such small drives in laptops at the point of manufacture.
