New laptop suggestions?

Options
Sorry, I imagine this is a very common question, but I’ve searched through the first 5 pages of threads and couldn’t find a similar one so hope you don’t all mind me asking this...

I need a new laptop. I don’t want to do anything advanced with it, mainly just:
- standard Microsoft stuff (word, excel)
- backup photos
- play internet poker (and run other poker software)
- watch Netflix

Because of the poker software I assume this would rule out a chromebook. I want it to be fairly light/portable, so maybe 11’ or 13’ screen. Very happy to go second-hand/refurbished. I have an external hard drive so doesn’t need that much space. I just have no idea where to start - so many options!

Ideally I don’t want to spend more than £250 - possibly £300 at a push. That possible?

Thanks very much
