I'm after a laptop purely for essay writing/ research. But on a tight budget of £300
I have no clue what I'm looking for and just keep being swayed towards the rose gold ones 😂😂
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

For around £300 you are possibly best off with a Chromebook.

as above - a chromebook

or, maybe look at a reconditioned thinkpad from somewhere like nrg-it.

If it doesn't need to be fancy.

I just bought my sister a HP one yesterday from Currys for £279 with 128GB memory.

( I don't work for them!)

Don't forget students often get discounts

Second hand corporate one. ThinkPad or Toshiba or the like. You will carry it about, it will get battered.
