£300 refurbished laptop for video editing?

[Mr Joshua]

Hi all, as the title suggests I'm looking for a budget laptop that would be capable of editing videos for YouTube.

Ideally I'm not looking to spend more than £300 but I've no idea what specs I should be looking at, is it doable?

Thanks in advance.

Not sure it helps, but I got a cheapo refurb Thinkpad P50. Its a heavy old thing but the cpu still goes strong, i7 6820hq I think, and it has a 4gb graphics card, 16gb ram etc. It wasnt that expensive but that might work for you. Its a sturdy thing, very solid. Should be quite cheap, under your budget anyway

heavy though

If you need smaller and lighter you should be able to get a Ryzen with maybe a 5600u or something like that

Thank you, I'll take a look around and see what I turn up.
