Good laptop for no more than £200

GDB2222

I can’t find anything like it on the Dell website. I did find a laptop with an i3 processor, 8gb of RAM, etc, for £299, but that’s over the OP's budget.

The cheapest I could find is £259

That looks fine for the OP's needs, and it is only a bit over budget.

For the love of god please stay away from anything with an 'N' processor.
You will just lose the will to live waiting for it to do anything

As someone with one, I agree it’s slow, but it’s perfectly usable. And mine is from 2014. The newer ones are faster. Slightly.

I’m talking about browsing the internet and emails. I also use MS office on it. Nothing too processor intensive. For an elderly user, who is not too impatient, the response time is acceptable, and if the budget is highly restricted some compromises are essential.

The budget is £200 not £259 and the OP has already been given some good options for the money. No need to waste more time on it.

Since the OP insists on new, not refurbished, and doesn't want a tablet, I'm not sure that I've seen any 'good options' on this thread. I agree, though, that we have covered a lot of ground and may indeed be wasting our time, as it's not possible to meet all the OP's requirements.

Ok but refurbished ? I think she said nothing second hand, just new.

A1 Refurbished Grading
Products as good as new
Often just opened and returned with zero use

So the condition will be as new.

Probably not a 'new refurb', unless you are in the trade, and have technical savvy. You could wait till after xmas to see what shows up on the refurbished returns?

However a 'refurbished' second hand one is doable for about £200-ish

An iPad Mini, with the smallest amount of storage she can get away with. Touchscreen, 2 good cameras. I’m a Windows 10 laptop user and an Android phone diehard but for tablets you really can’t beat an iPad. None on the Apple Refurbished site right now, but they come up regularly. Should show up for about the £200 mark.

I bought a refurbished HP laptop recently from Laptops Direct. They were good to deal with:
