At present have an old Acer desk top pc which has served me very well. I am considering replacing it with a laptop. My knowledge on what is a good buy is limited . My budget is around £350. I want a 15 inch screen (number 1 priority) minimum of 4kb, reasonable storage but not excessive and a decent battery life. Also i want it be on Windows 10 as that is what I used to using. Can anyone give me some ideas of what laptop would be good buy and as far as possible meet my requirements.

I'd aim for 8GB and 240GB SSD otherwise you're just not going to get any longevity. Which, for £350, probably means refurbished? Would you try a refurb?GoodBottleOfWine said: minimum of 4kb, reasonable storageIf you put your general location in your Profile, somebody here may be able to come and help you.0 -
At your budget you need to think about if you would like modern tat or solidly built but old business class laptop.
Examples of modern tat that fit your specification:
