If you don't need the extra storage space on the HDD and you have no plans to upgrade the Asus with an SSD I would personally much rather have the HP. If you've ever used a computer with an SSD you would see how much quicker it is for general usage and boot times.

Does anyone know whether this Full-HD (1920 x 1080) display comes with a TN or IPS panel? Thanks.

Yeah that's the one, I was actually thinking of posting it as a deal just to get peoples comments on it.
I think i will wait till Monday to see if anything happens with the Cyber deals. If not i'll pick the Hendrix74 one.
Ok so I'm looking for a laptop to edit videos & use photoshop. Been told to get 8gb ram with ssd hard drive. So many choices and opinions but this looks to tick my boxes and I may take the plunge unless anyone has reason to change my mind...? Oh budget around £500

Actually I may just stick to the Lenovo one as it comes with 2 year guarantee and works out to be cheaper than the HP even after adding 256gb ssd.

This one is faster, has a more economical CPU so will likely have a better battery life and also is DDR4 compatible. I am on the hunt for a cheapish laptop for the little one, and had a play around with the Ideapad 310 today in Currys and must admit, although cheap, it definitely feels cheap. Plastics not very well refined and feel flimsy in parts.
I think the first digit in the CPU code following the generic type signifies the generation, in this case i3-7100U is a 7th gen i3. However you say a "good" laptop but don't mention what it's for. The CPU gen alone isn't going to help you choose. There are plenty of other factors to consider. If you gave some idea of budget and what the main priorities for the machine were I'm sure people would help you. For example, battery life, storage space, speed, gaming, portability etc. Hope this helps.

Hi, I'm looking for a good laptop but I'm getting confused with what's good and what isn't. I thought an i5 or i7 is what I should be looking for but I'm seeing loads of posts and comments saying about 5th generation, 6th generation etc and I was wondering if someone could explain that to me please- like how do I know what generation an i5 or i7 is? I try and find it in the specs online for all the different laptops but I'm obviously missing something because I can't find it :disappointed:. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

It's nice but why do they bother with CD/DVD drives, I'd so much rather have a bigger battery or a smaller/lighter footprint

Now that looks a deal. Impressed by how much more battery life the 7th gen i5 is bringing over the 6th. Though be good if they could decide if that one has 8 or 9 hours, but with 5 and 6 seemingly common on 6200u laptops either way it's nice improvement.

I just need a quick machine for browsing, iTunes, music storage, movies and photos. Got a 6 year old Packard netbook now but slowly dying! Help.
They do a 1920 x 1080 display with a i5-7200U for £467 is that worth an extra £ 85
