New laptop / all in one computer

That orchid Pink/Silver looks tempting (good size of memory and solid state drive and reasonable CPU). The 2 year warranty is excellent but John Lewis does tend to up the price to compensate.

I'm tempted with a smaller laptop and going with the suggestion from almiller, of a laptop and a monitor, a monitor for on the desk, and a laptop for portability. I can then have a larger screen where required, the logic for a smaller screen is less weight, the poor handling is because i hold the laptop along the front edge when moving it around and this is what has caused the case to crack. Never done anything different with any of the laptops Ive had, this is the first one thats failed there (and I cant see an easy fix) so perhaps its a one off issue (i think the case is weak along the edges as theres numerous slots along the edges that weaken the case.


A further benefit of this is I could still use my current laptop for the monitor and leave it in a fixed position as its the moving it around thats causing the damage.

This is why people are suggesting business quality laptops to you. HP Consumer aren't known for their build quality.
