Laptops for school

[boniyin]

I need a sup £300 laptop for school with good specs. Any suggestions?

For what use and what size? "good specs" are relative and for that budget you are in the low end of systems which means not really good specs.

Thanks for the response. I need it primarily for productivity and work, but also for web surfing. A Pentium or higher processor would be ideal. Thanks!

Asus or Lenovo are good, you are not in the US so tough to pick something for me, but in that price there is not much variance in systems or quality or parts. Whatever has the best CPU and RAM amount for the price, stick with the top few brands and you are fine. I doubt you can find something with a solid state drive and Windows in your price but even a 64 gb SSD is good to have if you are not saving large files or installing many programs.

Would an intel atom processor be good for word processing? it wouldn't be like hard-core, but light work

It's a slow CPU but OK for basic work.

What about an AMD A6 processor?

A6 is quite a bit faster than the Atom CPU.

lenovo ideapad 110 is a decent laptop that can meet your usage..

Funnily enough, I have that exact one (that's why I asked about the A6 processor). However, its getting a bit old now and doesn't have enough battery life for out of school usage. What if I used that one for only schoolwork, and buy another for entertainment/travel (and maybe one or two documents if the Lenovo fails). Any options?

Which intel processor is it comparable to?

probably to an older gen of i3 processor by intel

how old? I have looked into the HP 14". That could be a good choice. Pentium processor, 8gb ram and 2tb hard drive. It is slightly over the budget though.
