HP vs HP vs ASUS: which laptop to buy?

Hi,
I'm looking to buy new laptop in the price range of £350-£400. I have browsed different websites and tried to narrow it down. Although I do know the basics when looking at specifications (i.e what each thing is and what it does to a degree), I don't know too much when it comes to trade offs, i.e i3 + 8gb of ram or i5 + 4gb of ram. The 3 laptops I've narrowed it down to are:

HP Pavilion 15-ab040sa @ £361.19 - https://electronicandcomputersoluti...-pavilion-15-ab040sa-15.6-laptop---white.html

HP 350 G2 (K9J03EA) @ £379.97 - http://www.pricerunner.co.uk/pi/27-3049334/Laptops/HP-350-G2-(K9J03EA)-Product-Info

ASUS X555LB-XO067H @ £389.90 - http://www.pricerunner.co.uk/pi/27-3069221/Laptops/ASUS-X555LB-XO067H-Product-Info

Things to note: The laptop is just for general use from day to day and in college. The reason I am asking for help is because I was to try get the best for my money. Thanks in advance for any comments or help given relating to my issue. I will also of course consider other laptops that anybody suggests around the same price range.

The Asus, while pretty similar to the HP 350 G2 is a better spec'd laptop and for the extra £10 would be well worth it. Although the CPU and RAM are the same with the Asus you get double the hard drive space and you get a dedicated graphics chip which would be better if you ever want to do some light gaming on it. The Pavilion is much worse than the other 2 laptops and isn't worth the small saving you'd get.

So overall I'd highly recommend the Asus

 

Th

thank you very much for the reply. Is there any other laptops you think I should consider around this price or is the Asus my best bet do you think?

 

I own an Asus (the K55A) and I haven't had any problems with it. As far as other laptops go you'll likely find similar prices but if I were you I'd go with the Asus. It's a decent machine that should definitely last the next 5 years at least as long as it's kept in good condition.

 

Cheers mate

 

I have no experience with Asus computer, and have two HP Pavillion laptops already! One lasted more than 7 years, and one has over heating problem right now. I didn't have too much problem with my first HP, but the second one is giving me grief.

If I was you, I would find the one that you like most and actually have a feel for it. I don't buy if I haven't touch it or see it. Go to the store and see if you like the real one
