Low spec laptop advice

[bazzabear]

I don't really know laptops, and even less bottom of the market stuff. But as a family computer person, I am being asked for advice.

I have a family member who needs something that will run office, web browsers, and Roblox (this is for a granny - but she plays along with grandchildren sometimes), and can be trusted to last a good few years before slowing to a crawl.

That, and being as cheap as possible, are the only requirements. Any advise on what I should be pointing her at?

Is a Chromebook going to get her what she needs for less money? But, on the other hand, is asking a septuagenarian to learn a new OS (and one which I can't help as much with because I don't know it either) a bad idea?

Thanks for any advice. As I understand the rules, it's fine to share links because OC do not sell laptops in this bracket. If so - I can get 7.5% off at Currys, so that might be a place to aim.

Roblox hardware requirements:

Seems like a Chromebook would do it, I doubt the OS is difficult to learn. Screen size seems to be a major determinant on price. The Chromebooks tend to have lower spec processors than Windows laptops, but providing you meet the hardware requirements I'm guessing they should work ok for Roblox.

Brand wise I would consider Dell, Asus, Acer and Lenovo.
