I'm after a new laptop, as cheap as possible, it'll mostly be for my kids to do educational work on. So what do I need to look for these days to keep going for the next few years?

If you want to be money saving take a look at refurbished laptops - you can buy fairly hi spec laptops for very little if you don't mind a few cosmetic imperfections. The laptop I'm using right now came from https://www.grabalaptop.com/ who are based in Portsmouth.
I'd suggest going for an i5 processor or better with at least 4GB of memory (but preferably more) and at least 250GB hard disk space.0 -
