As it says in the title, which would you buy?

Thanks for any input

The Packard Bell one, because it has more memory - though both look quite reasonably priced imo.

You must be joking !
The hp is a steal - i3 cpu !!!

I'd personally go for the HP - not only is it cheaper, its a larger brand, has (imo) a better processor and may be of better build quality, but of course that's only my opinion and it's up to you to decide based on your requirements...

I doubt pb would appear towards the left

I recommend touching a laptop before buying, keyboards, mouse buttons vary and may not be to your taste

That graph does say " 3 year projection " so which category is it " lies , damned lies , statistics " !!

I would never buy a HP, nor recommend anyone else every buys one.

For those same prices, you could get a Core i3 Toshiba, and they're much better imo

£394.97

Intel Core i3-380m @ 2.53GHz
2GB DDR3 RAM (2GB is probably enough but if not another 2GB is cheap)
250GB HDD
DVD-RW, Webcam, Windows 7 and all of that other rubbish

A little more than the others but Toshiba are definitely a better brand, and the CPU is much newer and faster

Also, I ordered both of my laptops off Laptops Direct, had no problems with the actual company.

My first was a Toshiba L300-12H which has lasted about 3 years and I still use it now for taking it places where it might get damaged. I've dropped it loads of times and it still works perfectly and feels solid as ever

My second is a Sony Vaio VPCEB2M0E and I hate it, but that's My/Sony's fault
