Received this message earlier from my sister, having had a quick look on Amazon (OC/UK don't sell anything equivalent) there's a mountain of options, just need something half decent.

Help me pick something good for her please.

Thanks. :)

Hey bro. I am thinking of getting myself a laptop or netbook whilst I'm in lockdown. Will you have a look on Amazon or eBay at a good one, please. It is for dealing with emails from solicitors. Watching tv in bed. Skyping etc and whatever else I can do to keep myself entertained. Willing to pay up to £200 !! xx

no idea what said:
Youll struggle at the £200 price point, there's a lot of rubbish out there at that. Most of which have eMMC storage which is really quite slow, plus horribly slow dual core processors with 4gb ram.

Anything you buy at £200 is going to be pretty much the same as the next thing. My advice on that budget is get a second hand laptop, you b can buy something a few years old with an i5, 8gb ram and an SSD. If it has to be new then either buy whichever £200 laptop looks the prettiest or double your budget.

Yes, the budget doesn’t seem to bag much, I’ve found a better option with an SSD instead of eMMC but it’s nearly half her budget again, perhaps understandably in the circumstances she’s reticent about a used one but yes that is certainly the route I’d take....
