Hi All,
The time has come to change from my current laptop, a Dell Inspiron 1545 running 2GB ram (approx 7 years old)
Usage - looking for something that can handle some light photo and video editing (have a GoPro)
Other than that I download music and browse online.
Nothing too special really as we use our phones and iPad for day to day use.
Currently looking into these 2 below -
HP Pavilion 15-ab269sa 15.6" Laptop - white £399.99
Windows 10 (pre-installed)
Intel® Core™ i3-5157U Processor
Memory: 8 GB
Graphics: Intel® Iris™
Storage: 1 TB

Why PCW? By all means browse there-then buy elsewhere.
If you are doing photo and video editing I'd be looking at something with a bit more grunt than an i3 processor. Subject to that, any modern laptop will handle the tasks you mention with ease.No free lunch, and no free laptop0 -
Hi, agreed, I won't be buying from PCW
Was just using the site for the links as it came up 1st from a search0
