Which laptop £350-£400

Options
Hi All,

The time has come to change from my current laptop, a Dell Inspiron 1545 running 2GB ram (approx 7 years old)

Usage - looking for something that can handle some light photo and video editing (have a GoPro)
Other than that I download music and browse online.
Nothing too special really as we use our phones and iPad for day to day use.


Currently looking into these 2 below -

    Why PCW? By all means browse there-then buy elsewhere.
    If you are doing photo and video editing I'd be looking at something with a bit more grunt than an i3 processor. Subject to that, any modern laptop will handle the tasks you mention with ease.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
