This one seems great, the small screen would be fine.

Tier 1 have been around a while, so their product and warranty should be up to scratch.

Another good option is here; https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lenovo-Thinkpad-X240-Laptop-Intel-i5-4200U-128GB-SSD-8GB-RAM-Win-10-Pro-Grade-B/182698380248

as it has an SSD fitted, a more powerful processor and more RAM, so it will be very quick. But the small screen may not be as convenient for you.

Those are a great laptop. My last work laptop for my previous company was one of those. Excellent machine.

Yes, very very solid, really nice to use.

Only negative for me is that the Thinkpad screens are designed for looking at Powerpoint slides and Excel workbooks and Outlook emails, so don't have the best colour range in the world and viewing angles are extremely narrow.

If I didn't already have one infront of me (not from this seller I should add) I'd be buying that today

Dependent on whether they are supplied with TN or IPS screens. Hopefully the OP will get an IPS screen.

Tier 1 do have them with IPS screens; https://www.tier1online.com/728-20ala0lquk-b/refurbished-thinkpad-x240-i5-4210u-webcam-grade-b-12-5-ips

Could you explain what TN and IPS are please?

I really need a laptop so that I can Skype my family, apply for jobs and write a CV. Does anyone know where the best place to get a cheap one that I can pay for in instalments please?

Going by the date of the first post, the OP either purchased a laptop several months ago or is no longer interested in purchasing one. Also see posts 13, 34 & 39.
