Sorry, don't know how to make link shorter.:D
What do you think of the spec, would need it for general home use and some work related stuff.
Any advice appreciated.

I am by no means a 'techie' but if you are not wanting to do gaming etc I think it would be fine. I bought the cheapest laptop Argos had in stock 2mths ago (my budget was my priority at he time) costing about £280 and though there are times it feels a bit slow, it does what I need it to.

Spec is OK but build quality leaves a lot to be desired. They just feel cheap compared to a proper built laptop. Many barely make 12 months without an issue - usually charge sockets or hinges.

Try looking at the 3 I am looking at, all for the same budget you have
