Are there any techy sorts around?

I need a new laptop but am strapped for cash and don't understand all the specifications. I need it for emails, websites, word, excel, Spotify and maybe streaming films.

I've been looking at some reconditioned Lenovo Thinkpads on Amazon for about £200 - we had these at my old job and they seemed fine, but I wondered, would anyone caution or advise?

I guess it doesn't need to be a laptop either as I'm at home most of the time now.

I bought a reconditioned Dell laptop for £299, it's brilliant

Just make sure it has a solid state drive (SSD) rather than a hard drive (HDD) then you'll be fine.

My Lenovo laptoo has an HDD and has become progressively slower with every Windows update. It frequently hangs for many minutes now, and I often have to restart it. I've removed as many unwanted files and apps as possible to help speed it up but really need to remove the HDD and replace it with an SSD (much cheaper than getting a new laptop). I haven't quite built up the courage yet - there are instructions online and my brother has upgraded several so I'm hoping he will help if (when) I get stuck.

Thanks @raiderofthegoodause, it looks like that ones out of stock but I'll look it up and at the rest of that site.

@treblechoc, thank you, I will do some research into the difference and check that out!
