Looking for a laptop under £550

[SuperShark]

I recently passed my AS exams and have moved onto second year of college, but now require a laptop that is good enough for me to code on using Visual Basics and Dreamweaver. I plan on using the laptop for day to day use as well so I'd like it to be powerful. My current budget is £550 and I've been looking at a few laptops. If you guys could recommend something that would be great, I'll list the ones I have been looking at.

ASUS X540LA-XX234T

HP 250 G4

Lenovo Ideapad 310

Dell Inspiron 15 5000

HP 15-ay015na

Note: All the laptops above have i5s.

Thank you.

Never seen it before, but that screen resolution and the 950M. Me gusta.

@filippi any good laptops under £550?

Lenovo Ideapad 500-15ISK: i5-6200U, 12GB RAM, Full HD, Radeon R7 M360. Not bad for less than £500...

@filippi you sir work some magic when it comes to searching on Amazon, I was not able to find that laptop before. Could I replace the HDD with an SSD?

@filippi bang done. Seller has a local store and they are giving students 15% off so I get £74.25 off the laptop. I think if he has any better laptops that cost around £500 after 15% off I'll pick that one up. The seller is Laptop Outlet UK.

Nice mate. This is a nice peace of hardware. You could use the £74.25 off for a SSD upgrade!

Good luck

@filippi that is an even better idea!
