Please could you advise me on the best budget laptop for a teenager, mostly it's for social media homework and playing music from, she doesn't need it to have a massive memory.
Budget is around £300 or less...
She particularly likes Mac books but of course that is not going to happen at this kind of budget.
Thank you |

HP are good, just make sure it has either 4 or 8gb of ram on otherwise it will be slow as hell to work! Intel i3 or i5 is a decent processor too for a budget and comes on a lot of HP's x |

Curry's have Windows 10 "hp stream" laptops on sale ATM for around £180, no optical drive (CD/DVD) and around 32GB internal HD. The stream range seems geared primarily toward those who intend to use it for social media , online purchases, media consumption (YouTube, Netflix, iPlayer )and word processing.
The he capacity can easily be expanded with a memory stick or external HD if need be.
It also comes with a years free access to Microsoft 360, so especially good for students. |

According to HUKD, HP Streams are rubbish! Better to steer clear! |

Hard drives are disk drives that effectively spin like a CD, these run at either 7200 or 5400rpm and are slow.
If you spend £200 on a laptop it is more than worth spending another £70 on a SSD (solid state drive), these are similar to USB flash drives where access to data is pretty much instant. Take the pc to a computer shop with the backup disks and ask them to ghost/copy the operating system to the SSD. It'll cost £30-40 and you'll wonder why you've been waiting all this time. Samsung EVO 850 are the best all round SSD's a laptop cooler is also useful just to stop dust/overheating. |
