We're ona laptop hunt....

Maureen43

A while ago I bought one of these:

HP Pavilion 15-p157sa 15.6" Laptop (Purple). I got it refurbished for a good price and it is a fabulous laptop.

Now I want to buy another for my mum and I can't find it anywhere online!

Does anyone know any stockists?

Alternatively can anyone recommend a laptop of a similar spec, preferably HP as I have been so impressed with it?

Many thanks

I bought THIS a couple of weeks ago and am very impressed with it. I noticed Argos do a very similar one but a different processor for £30 less HERE I'm sure someone will be along soon to point out the pro's and con's of each laptop.

There are much better systems for less money

you should be able to pick up an i3 laptop for around £230-250

Comparable to what??!! "Slightly lower spec" is a massive understatement. It's rated at 25% of the OP's laptop CPU and half that of the cheapest laptop in my link.
Not that any of it is an issue if the laptop performs adequately.
