    Hi folks,

    Looking for a cheap laptop, to do the run of the mill stuff. Internet, spreadsheets, movies etc. Not a gamer so that's not an issue.

    I have found two online that I'm interested in:

    HP 250 G4
    Screen Size: 15.6in
    Windows 10
    Intel Core i5 Processor
    RAM: 4GB
    Hard Drive: 500gb

    Lenovo B50-45
    AMD A8-6410 Quad Core Processor
    15.6" HD Screen
    Microsoft Windows 10 Home 64-bit
    16GB DDR3 RAM
    1000GB HDD
    DVD Rewriter
    Dedicated R5 M230 Graphics

    No expert here but i5 is the better processor I think. But is 4 times the ram and double the hard drive worth the trade off?

    Or is there something else for 400 euro I should consider?

    Cheers guys.

    Just bought this for my parents yesterday.
    Its still in transit so I don't have my hands on it yet.

    Ideapad 300-15IBR 15.6 inch Laptop Notebook (Intel Pentium N3700, 8 GB RAM, 1Tb HDD, DVDRW, WLAN, BT, Camera, Integrated Graphics, Windows 10 Home) - Black

    I'm then going to spend another €60 on a 240GB SSD. I'd strongly suggest an ssd drive.
