JohnRoss Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Darty sells a laptop HP G7-1045sf and Leclerc HP G7-1045ef for the same price. HP site shows specs for both machines to be identical as far as I can see. Only difference is HP has a different Ref number in addition to the model number for each machine. So anyone know what is the difference between them and any comments about HP laptops welcome........JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 There is quite a lot of rebadging and boxing in France so that items do not actually compete with each other. Thus, my recent SatNav was one number on the box, a number which existed only in France, and another number on the piece of kit, which was international and sold everywhere.This may account for what has happened in your case.

andrew44 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Found via Google on 'Comment ça marche' - le ef est avec un écran led, l'autre (le sf) avec un écran normal (brightview).So EF has an LED backlit screen, while SF is 'normal'- LCD ?LED is supposed to be better - more eco-friendly and runs cooler, like TVs.It seems to be a good choice.HTHAndrew 44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnRoss Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 Interesting can you give the link for this? The specs on HP for each model are LED HD+BrightView for both.......JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnRoss Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 Tried that thanks but all I got was a robot who gibbered at me and no sign of a human being to speak to!.......JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew44 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Your word is my command :http://www.commentcamarche.net/forum/affich-14054365-avis-hp-dv6-1240-ef-ou-sf-moniteur-ledNot your model, though.Brightview will just be their brand name for the display.If they're both LED, then you can't lose.... and I don't know any other ef/sf distinctions.@+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew44 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Looks like Wooly was right !En général, EF et SF sont les localisations du modèles, même machine, autre région. Je ne sais pas ce qu'elles signifient exactement par contreFound on an HP forum :http://h30478.www3.hp.com/t5/Mat%C3%A9riel-pour-ordinateurs/Pavilion-dm1-2140-ef-ou-2140-sf/td-p/39029So evidently no difference, if the LED v LCD screen is a red herring.....@+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnRoss Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 Ok thanks folks and I think the better half wants to buy one. The difference between LCD and LED seems to be only the different types of back lighting for LCD displays as shown here: http://www.buzzle.com/articles/led-vs-lcd-monitor.html Anyway thanks to all and now on to the next problem, cheers.............JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 They both have identical specs as far as I can see including the LED screens which are both"Écran HP BrightView de diagonale de 43,9 cm (17,3 pouces) LED haute définition HD+"Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
