£350ish all-round laptop? Does it exist?

Tom's Hardware.

Was browsing online the other day looking for a laptop that'll be used for various college coursework, web browsing, some photo manipulation ect ect... I don't really want to be spending too much, around the £350 mark (not USD). I plan to allocate some other money towards an SSD that'll replace the stock drive. It also doesn't need a OS since I'll probably just bung Debian on there. So if any knows of any diamonds in the rough, please let me know.

Cheers.

Without gaming, it's pretty easy to find a laptop in your price range.

Although tough to find anything without an OS unless you are shopping in a low income area like India where they sell laptops with DOS installed.

You may be able to get something with an Intel i3 even in your price range, or look for an AMD A6 or A8 based system.

That;s a pretty nice spec'd laptop for the price.

If you;re ok with refurbished, this looks to be pretty decent:

Think I'm better off going with a new one mate, thanks anyway though.
