Please recommend a laptop

My 14 year old has told me that her Dad has said he will buy her a laptop for Christmas. The budget is around £350. She has asked me to help her choose one but I have no idea.

Her only stipulation is that it is black or white! It will be used mainly for homework, internet, watching youtube videos, listening to music etc. The usually teen stuff. She is not really into online gaming although she may want to install her Sims games on there if the spec allows (not vital).

Can anyone recommend anything?

Many thanks:)

    Forgot to say, I am not sure which SIM you are referring to. It may require higher graphic specific. You probably need to spend slightly more.
