I am looking to get a laptop for university and found the Dell Latitude E7440 refurbished on offer £360 so it seems like a pretty good price.
It has an Intel Core i5 4300U 1.9GHz, 8gb RAM, 128gb ssd, and 1920x1080 display.

14 inch display seems like it would be good in terms of carrying around but the fact that its a Latitude and aimed for business use makes me a bit unsure.
I have had a look at some reviews but I am still undecided, so any advice would be great!
If it helps the only gaming I'll be doing is maybe a little bit of LoL but I have a PC for this. I'll be mainly doing word processing and programming for computer science.

It's a decent laptop. i5 is good, a Broadwell would be better, but likely more expensive, good amount of memory, good SSD, and good resolution screen. What other options do you have in your price range?

The CPU is equivalent to a low-end desktop i3, with two cores, hyperthreading and 2.9Ghz turbo boost.
