Good quality, entry level laptop..?

This time last year, I came across an ebay deal for a refurbished Lenovo thinkpad x250 which has an i5 processor, 256GB ssd, 8gb ram and windows 10. Total cost £95 including next day delivery. I thought that was a great price for a laptop for general use with decent battery life (laptop looked brand new when i took it out of the box).
Its no where near the top of the range, but its more than enough to do general things - web browsing, document writing/editing, printing, etc. and ssd/ram can be upgraded in future if needed.
There are deals that come up on ebay now and again, so best to research what you want and then regularly check for any deals meeting your criteria / budget.Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened.

£20 will cover both parts. I wouldn't spend more than that on it. But that will be enough to get the best out of it.
