Looking for a laptop mainly for internet browsing and notetaking for uni work. I recently purchased a notebook hp 255 g3 which was £220 but found that it was extremely slow, it could only open a few tabs and lagged when streaming video on sites like youtube and twitch. The battery life was also very short 2-3 hours which wouldn't be enough to last for a whole day of lectures etc.
With this in mind with such a low budget would it be better to opt for something like a chromebook? I've seen a friend use it and they seem very fast, no lag when browsing sites like yt and twitch and generally seem to run fast (boot up time etc). The main issue is the lack of microsoft office, however for note taking google docs should be fine (so long as theres ways to organise them into folders etc).
Should I opt for a laptop or chromebook for my needs and if either any recommendations for the best in that price range?
