I had a Toshiba Satellite for about 8 years with no problems. It still works okay, I only swapped it 'cos I wanted something with a larger screen.

Before selecting your chosen model, I would recommend you make a list of features that the laptop must have, e.g. desired operating system, optical drive (DVD-RW), webcam, Wi-Fi, Blue tooth etc, which will help in your selection.

£500 will buy a fairly decent laptop, but a £300 device might very well suffice; with the additional £200 buying extra memory & speed and other features that you do not need.
