    Please, make a decision and stop prevaricating:

    I'm sorry if my indecisiveness is annoying, I apologise and I really do appreciated the advice I've been given. It is a reasonably big purchase for me and I'm not all that knowledgeable which is why I'm here.

    My heart is leaning towards the HP Envy over the 250 G5, it's by far the better looking machine. But I'm not sure price wise it's the most sensible choice. Are the benefits of having the two drives built in and better (but not really sure how much better) onboard graphics worth the extra money? It also has a better screen I think but I would be stuck with Windows 10.

    So yeah, I appreciate I'm being annoying but I don't want to place an order for someone to come along and say, oh if you were prepared to spend £600 this would have been a far better choice.

    ^^ Oh, I'm terrible with big purchases like this! It'd take me at least a month or so to make my mind up! :-)

    Don't take it to heart, just a bit of fun to get you to think about what you want. Really think about your usage scenarios. You may find that a tablet and a cheaper laptop or cheap desktop may be more suitable for your requirements. A tablet is no use for editing a 10,000 line spreadsheet however an enormous laptop that sucks battery isn't much good for watching a movie on the train, a tablet does that better.

    £600 will buy you both if you choose wisely ;)
