Laptop recommendation please....

Good morning all,

I am looking for opinions on the following laptops:

Are the first two identical as they have different model numbers?

I 'm not sure why the bottom one is reduced by so much.....

Thanks.

As you say the Samsungs look pretty similar but they are different model numbers so they will be different. One of them mentions the "JBL Speakers" so maybe that's the difference?

I have a newish Samsung and it's been OK so far, but one or two niggles - the keyboard is nowhere near as nice as it was on my older laptop which was cheaper; but maybe they're all like that these days?

Also if you're planning to do techie things like install the Linux Operating System on it, I'd be wary of Samsungs:

No idea about the bottom one, I'm afraid.

A8-4500M machine usually at £380 - 450.

What is your main use of machine, if you are going to spend £550, those samsung is not good value for money, IMO
