Well, I was being silly when I suggested upping the budget.

No feedback from the OP at all. Exactly the same as the previous time...

Try the Asus vivobooks e210 (11 inch screen) or e410 (14 inch screen)
You can get refurbs within your budget from a decent supplier.
They have 4gb ram and 64gb hard drive, but they will also take an m.2 drive should you wish to increase the storage.
John Lewis were actually selling the e410 new for £160 recently, but think it's gone up now.
The 11inch screen one isn't great though (it's tnt panel, but the 14inch one is a fairly decent IPS one.

What is it about your selection (2) above( this one: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/145475081055 ) that you preferred over the recommendations already made for you by myself and Cisoc001?

letsbehonest

What and why a laptop you never said, may I suggest a tablet type computer (iPad  type) there are many android tablets out there, I bought a Fusion F202 tablet and it will do everything  you will probably need, ie emails, facebook and general  internet surfing.

True....i only really need it to use emails, download apps, connect my smartphones, amazon, ebay, check my accounts, and other many important website about my health and my records, my appointments, my medical results  etc...
