Spec me a £500 snappy laptop

[Quinnaay]

Please can someone spec me a fast laptop with SSD 256gb minimum, Nice screen, lightweight that doesn't get too warm.
Uses will be mainly for browsing the web, youtube etc etc.

Thanks

May not be the most lightweight but it's fast and fits the rest of your requirements: Dell Inspiron 15 5000 - can be had online relatively cheap for what it is.

15.6"
i5-7200u
8GB DDR4 RAM
256GB SSD
R7 4GB GPU
Windows 10

With used/refurbished machines, you can get something decent for that much if you're lucky.

I snagged a Dell Latitude 7370 (refurbished) a while ago for a bit over £500, even with Core M CPU, it's plenty fast for my needs (browsing, coding, pretty much). And because it's a machine from Dell's business line up, I get decent warranty on it too.

my wife just bought a HP bs162 sa from a high street retailer its not got the ssd you want but it does have a i5-8250U which is a quad core with hyper threading and she got that for 399 so in theory you could go buy this https://www.overclockers.co.uk/sams...olid-state-drive-mz-76e250b-eu-hd-232-sa.html and swap out the drives and still have a few pennies to spare plus a spare 1tb hdd

oh should mention it states 1.6ghz on the cpu but I've seen it turbo upto 3.4ghz
also to add I used cpu-z to just do a quick benchmark basically it is as fast as my 3770k in my desktop pc in that benchmark in both single and multi threaded tests

Thanks for the advice guys will look into it. Considered snagging a Dell XPS 13 from fleabay but warranty etc gives me worries
