About to purchase new laptop

itsakidsworld

Hi everyone,

I have been looking for a decent laptop for general use work/home and i have found these: HP ENVY TouchSmart 4-1236sa and the HP ENVY Touchsmart 4-1203sa.

The 1236 is direct with HP and the 1203 is at Currys.

The 1236 is slightly cheaper than the 1203 and i don't know the difference why? My instinct would be that the 1236 model is a newer version so why cheaper, but i may be wrong? Also the 1236 with HP direct comes with a two year warranty which is welcome?

I don't do any gaming or video down loading. I like this sleek thin model and after looking at many computers(with not much knowledge i must say!) i feel one of these could be the one for me.

Any thoughts and suggestions would be most welcome with even comparisons for different makes of a similar speck.

Thanks

do you need a £700 laptop with a touchscreen?

Hi,

No i'm not fussed about a touchscreen. I was looking for a lighter, smaller laptop to make it easier when travelling around. This one is 14" which looked about as small as i wanted?

Thanks

you'll pay a premium for a touchscreen

What about this one then? It's a lot lighter.
