    Alright I understand.

    How much of a performance difference is there between the HP and the Dell laptops cisco posted?

    If it's minimal then I might just get HP. If it's considerable then I wil wait for the Dell one.

    If they can last for 5-8 years doing reasonable work I am happy.

    There was an interesting piece on last week's Gadget Show that showed that prices tend to fall even further post Black Friday and in the run up to Xmas.

    Thats fine in general but not when you are looking at a specific item.
    Though a nice drop on the overpriced Nintendo Switch would be appreciated!
