Hey everyone,
I am currently looking for a relatively cheap laptop (ideally as close to £200 as possible but i understand we may need to spend more). This is to be used by a new employee for basic business tasks (emails, basic web browsing, word processing etc). Apart from the occasional youtube video it won't be used for anything intensive (eg gaming/design programs etc).
I just wanted to see what you guys would recommend for this kind of price point (without going too budget!) Ideally we'd like a 15"6 screen. The following 2 look like pretty good deals (albeit slightly more than we wanted to spend):

For a cheaper one (apart from the missing disc drive) this looks pretty good:

I would love to hear peoples opinions on the above and also whether or not there are others you would recommend (ideally closer to the £200 mark).
Thanks very much,
Dave
