    Hi, I'm looking for a notebook max size about 12".
    Just to be used for mostly browsing, YouTube etc.. Some word processing.
    No gaming.
    Must have a DVD drive and I intend to use a usb DTT tuner for Saorview.

    Would anyone in the know have a recommendation for what I require?

    Cheers

    The DVD drive is going to be your stumbling block tbh. Most laptops of that size are built without a DVD drive. But IMO, a DVD drive is completely redundant, it's gone the way of Tapes, and LPs. If you really need one, buy an external drive for 20 quid. But I would not be buying a laptop with one integrated, as most machines that will have one, will be older machines.
