Buying laptop with One4All card

MOH

I've a One4All card which I'm trying to use on buying a laptop for someone, but that means I'm quite restricted in where I can buy from.
As far as I can see my options are Argos, Power City, DID, HN, and the Dixons group.

It'll be used mainly for browsing, watching videos, editing docs, that kind of thing. Person concerned does take a fair few photos so will need a decent amount of storage, so a small SSD probably won't do.
They're upgrading from a rapidly dying 6 year old laptop so anything new is probably going to be fast by comparison, SSD isn't a necessity.
Decent battery life would be a plus although I imagine it'll mainly be used plugged in.

Ideally looking for something under €350, if possible.

From a quick scan of recent threads I guess I should be looking at something with an A6 / A8 / i3. Everything I've found on the above sites in the price range seems to be either a small eMMC drive and/or a Celeron. A Celeron might do, I've no idea how well it'll deal with HD video.

I'd appreciate either any suggestions within the budget, or any other sites I've overlooked that take One4All cards. Thanks

Anything will run HD movies these days (provided we're talking 1080p here...). Celeron and Atom are very closely related, and in a lot of cases I would prefer the Atom. At that price range you are either going to get a small 32GB eMMC, or a normal 500GB spinning disk. You'll be able to get a relatively old skool laptop with Celeron, 500GB disk and 4GB of RAM for that money. I wouldn't be expecting fantastic battery life, nor would I expect it to be particularly fast. Given the price range, and requirements it's just what you're going to get.

99% sure you can use one for all cards as mastercards online.

I've found that they don't work. Or at least they are very difficult to use online, especially when you need to use two forms of payment to make up the total cost. (ie, laptop costs 350 and the card is worth 250).

I´m looking to spend my one4all card on a laptop too. But the offer in Argos is verý limited and Currys is way too expensive!!
