Can someone give input about laptops please?

Lotus

I want to buy a new laptop and I've looked at what I can buy for under £300 and found two Chromebooks that look like they would provide what I need - an Asus and a HP - but I can't make up my mind which one to get. Here are links to them:

If anyone has knowledge about these laptops, I'd appreciate it if you could give your views about which is better. Thanks.

  • The ASUS CX34 from Currys, as kindly suggested by  , is definitely the best of the three, but only seems to be available for in-store collection, whereas the other two can be delivered.

    Of the other two, the ASUS is the better buy than the HP, due to having a more capable processor chip and more ports.

    Thank you  I thought the Asus was better, but I'm not knowledgeable about processors. I also preferred the look of the Asus and that it has more ports.

    I can't pick up a laptop from Currys (no store near me, don't have a car and can't carry a laptop far due to a bad shoulder) so I'll get it delivered from Argos.

    You're welcome! Given that your current laptop has lasted you 10 years, there's another point in favour of the CX14 that's also worth mentioning.

    The CX14 will continue receiving automatic updates until June 2035, whereas the HP will only get them until June 2033 (both per Argos's responses to questions).
