Best Budget Laptops for Everyday Use

Not everyone needs a £1,200 MacBook — sometimes you just need something reliable for emails, browsing, docs, and streaming. With the Black Friday → Christmas → New Year sales cycle, this is the best time to buy.

What to look for:

  • Minimum 8GB RAM
  • SSD storage (never buy a laptop with eMMC!)
  • Intel i3 / Ryzen 3 minimum
  • 14–15.6” display

Top Picks:

  • Lenovo IdeaPad 3
  • Acer Aspire 5
  • HP 14s
  • Chromebook Flex models

All usually fall into the £199–£349 range during seasonal sales.
