HP 15.6-inch laptop is down to £370 – but Amazon is selling a ‘gorgeous’ same-size alternative for £240
I’VE come across two fantastic laptop bargains worth checking out on Amazon.
The top-rated, 15.6-inch HP model will set you back £369.99 on sale – but the more affordable SGIN option, praised by customers as ‘gorgeous’, is available for just £239.98.
HP 15.6-inch Laptop, £549.99 £369.99
The HP offering caught my attention first, as it currently holds second billing on Amazon’s best-selling laptops list.
Originally priced at a tall order of £549.99, the HP 15.6-inch Laptop is currently on sale for £369.99, saving customers a solid 33%.
Under the hood, this laptop runs on the 12th Gen Intel Core processor, to enhance performance whether you’re juggling tasks on multiplayer windows or streaming movies.
In today’s world, we demand more from our screens, and this model looks like it will rise to the occasion.
It’s got a micro-edge display with flicker-free technology to ease eye strain, along with an anti-glare panel that ensures clear viewing even outdoors.
And thanks to those Intel Iris X Graphics, it’s an excellent choice for budget-conscious entertainment-seekers, offering vivid visuals and sharp graphics.
To top it all off, the HP Fast Charge technology powers up your device from 0% to 50% in around 45 minutes, freeing you from the wall socket and keeping you on the go.
The model has garnered an impressive rating of 4.2 out of 5 stars from Amazon customers and is currently sitting firmly in second position on the bestseller list.
One shopper said: “My old laptop computer went pop last year, so I bought myself one of these to replace it and have been highly impressed with this new one.
The same shopper added: “It is so quick to boot up, so much lighter and I’ve been so impressed with it ever since.”
Another wrote: “A good spec for the price of this laptop. It suits our need for our internet-work, banking, and shopping.”
SGIN 15.6-inch Laptop, £499.99 £239.98
(with £30 voucher)
My next find was a brand that might slip by unnoticed, yet offers a more budget-friendly price point.
The SGIN 15.6-inch Laptop, originally priced at £499.99, is now available for just £269.98.
You’ll also cut an extra £30 off using the voucher below the listed price, reducing the total to just £239.98.
I’ve covered this brand in the past, and it always seems to prove popular with shoppers, probably because it’s that bit less expensive than big-hitter brands like HP.
While the SGIN comes in as the more budget-friendly choice here, it packs a punch with 12GB of RAM and a spacious 512GB SSD. In contrast, HP offers 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD in their model.
Performance-wise, both laptops hold their ground, but the SGIN edges out slightly for faster task completion, all while saving you some cash.
There’s no competition when it comes to display though, both laptops sport a generous 15.6-inch screen, with the SGIN sporting a Full HD IPS display and support for 4K video playback.
For connectivity, you’re well-covered with USB and HDMI ports on both models. The SGIN goes further with TF card and SSD expansion slots, maximizing your storage options.
On the software front, both the HP and SGIN come pre-loaded with Windows 11, so you’ll get the sleek Microsoft interface and broad application compatibility for work and play on either model.
If this budget find has captured your interest, you’re not alone. Customers have high praise for the SGIN model, earning it 4.4 out of 5 stars.
One shopper described it as “gorgeous,” highlighting: “Everything is just crystal clear and large. The keyboard is large and a pleasure to type on.”
Another customer said: “Much cheaper than branded options with similar specs and ideal for everyday use. The screen is large and has rich vibrant colours in full HD.”
They also noted: “Sound quality is good for the price and has coped well with all apps and games tried so far on it.”
