Slower processor, and smaller (but faster) storage. I would go for PCworld's offer and get an additional 128 ssd and put the 2TB hdd in place of cd rom. Even this i7 is no where close compared to my 5yr old i7 (3630QM).

I think I agree; £40 max for an SSD and £10 max for a caddy (to replace DVD drive); and a doddle to image the existing C: to SSD (or clean install if you prefer).
But I probably wouldn't spend £500 on a laptop in the first place :-)

Yup I retired my i7 3632QM laptop last year and it was still incredibly powerful, with proper quad cores not these fake power efficient i7s

They're not really comparable products. One is an ultraportable tablet and this deal is for a full size, desktop replacement laptop.
If you don't know which one to buy, you should really start by thinking about the use cases you have for a laptop to figure out which suits your needs better.

I am thinking to get MS Surface Pro too, because of pen and portability for editing pictures. I don't like touch pad for laptop, of course You can use graphic tablet like I am using on my desktop. Then question, why You would need laptop. If You don't have any PC for editing, different question. Also I think now is bad time to buy MS Surface Pro, as soon will be some new launches, so prices of current line should drop!

£500 @HP 256GB SSD rather than HDD and i5-7200U rather than i7 ** and voucher CQ117HPAF84 will give £10 off **
