Our main laptop is a 10 year old dell, its done well for the last 10 years but is starting to struggle.
Also bought a recondtioned lenovo laptop that children have used and is used for zwifting

time for a new laptop, budget aroudn £350 or less if possible happy with a reconditioned one, whats good out there, its just used for office functions, internet and kids doing homework, zoom, and will be used for some zwift as well.

thanks in advance

It will be almost impossible to buy a laptop which doesn't meet your requirements (budget aside).

Look at the Dell factory outlet for bargains, Lenovo for build quality. You've chosen well previously.

I've got 2 sub £400 Lenovo's in the house. Would not buy again. Maybe the higher price ones are better. My very old Lenovo Thinkpad is still going strong.

Make sure it has an SSD drive - a lot of laptops still come with mechanical HD drives.

Other than that what cougar says is correct - you'll get an ex-businees laptop refurb well within budget.

£350 really is the bottom of the barrel price in terms of laptops - especially if buying new.
