    If it's just for internet and movies, why not consider a Chromebook/Chromebox? Fits your budget and will quite happily handle everything you've mentioned.

    I have my main powerful PC, but also a Chromebook. The Chromebook is used 90% of the time. I only go on the PC when I need to use Photoshop.

    Wow. There is serious lack of understanding here! Allow me to clarify :


    1. Internet download speed is 2mb
    2. I don't want to do pc gaming anymore
    3. I want to downgrade my £1000 laptop
    4. I just want something where I can browse the web, watch youtube, input my USB 3 devices, attach the PC/Box to my HDMI monitor
    5. I want to run my SSD off it, whether installed internally or externally.

    You can grab a hdmi cable and wireless keyboard and mouse and use the laptop for that purpose.

    New pc do not solving problem of download speed
