    Refurbished has a 12-month warranty.Not sure of the other one. I wouldve thought 2 maybe 3 years as it would be new.

    unless UK law requires a longer warranty, new HP lappies generally come with a 1 year warranty.

    for a price diff of 130, the refurb appears to be the way to go.

    it depends on what you do with the laptop as you said before in my opinion refurbished laptops are ok for you because your not going to do hardcore stuff.
