found Laptop - Opinions Needed

[Littler]

Evening all, I am after some options for a cheapish laptop, we are an apple household but the wife still isn't getting there with the macs we have and until that time (if ever?!) I'm going to pick up a windows laptop that she can use.

 

Budget is £200-300, needs to be slim-ish, minimum of an i3, 128gb SSD storage (more the size as it can be a normal hard drive and likely will be for my budget). It can be second hand but the battery needs to it good form.

 

What have you got or what possible options are there that you would recommend?

 

Thanks.

There's a For Sale thread on here where someone was selling a Dell for £200. I'd take a decent well-looked-after 2nd hand Dell/Lenovo/HP over a new lesser make any day.

 

With 2nd hand laptops, check the battery is still good unless you intend to use it plugged in all the time.

except I don't include Dell in that list, just HP and Lenovo

Why not just have windows on the mac book as an option on boot up, thats what a mate does for the same reason your looking at another laptop

Might have another for sale though, i'll let you know when I find it lol

When you say slim, do you mean light weight laptop, like a 12" screen?
