both will do just fine - buy one quick before the geeks start debating OS issues, GPU throughput and multi-tasking capabilities

The Staples price looks to be EXCLUDING VAT

Loved the Asda bit about delivery:

Free delivery on orders over £25 when collecting in store (selected stores only) :dunno: :dunno:

Go for either. for what you want a laptop for.

to be honest, if you can sit on your itchy fingers, wait until the new year - all tech companies bring out their new gear then and the old stuff ends up in the sales - you can grab a right bargain then
