Soldato
Looking to get a cheap laptop for my daughter for school work etc. £200 max. No gaming obviously. She has a PS4 Pro for that. Any help would be great.
Was thinking of getting a Dell Optiplex instead. Refurb
£120
- Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3GHz
- 4GB RAM + 250GB HDD
- Intel GMA Graphics
- DVD Writer
- Windows 10 Home 64bit
This should be good enough? She has a monitor, keyboard and mouse. Would need to buy a wireless USB dongle for it (recommend a decent but cheap one?)
For a bit more you should be able to. Get something with an SSD. Which will make a massive difference to the speed of the machine.
I can put an ssd in. Otherwise the spec should be ok?
E8400 is soon 11 year old 2c/2t CPU so wouldn't exactly trust it to run Win10 and other modern bloat.I can put an ssd in. Otherwise the spec should be ok?
That's pocket calculator's hardware in oversized shell.HP Stream 14-ax000na is within budget, new and a Windows 10 laptop.

Some five years old refurbished business laptop would likely have stronger CPU.
Also 4GB is very little for Win10.
It would be fit amount for Win7 or especially some lighter desktop environment Linux.
Would expect little less outdated hardware to be available.

There are very likely smarthphones beating that in everything from processing power to memory and storage.
For start that 32GB eMMC is straight from cheap phone and has barely room for Win10 after few updates.
