+VAT but still worth the OP having a look.

I wouldn't consider a secondhand one unless money was really tight. There's often a reason why the original owner wanted to part with it, not to mention all the body bits on the keyboard.

The second-hand firm we use gets all their equipment from companies who are upgrading to newer kit. Thus you can get a decent business-quality fairly-new system unit or laptop for usually much less than half the new price.

My employer uses that sort of company. they get a price for new PCs discounted for getting the old PCs to resell.

Office work, Microsoft Office, Surfing, Editing photos, playing music and possibly watching the odd film.

I don't know where else to buy a laptop - have been looking at some refurbished ones on Ebay but I am nervous about this method.

There is the same laptop within post #12 for £459 with the discount code below.

Doesn't have an IPS screen and the SSD looks to be SATA 3.

If I was forced to choose between DELL or HP, I would go for the discounted Dell at £459. It has an IPS screen and PCIe connection for SSD.
