    My kid has started to show an interest in joining a CoderDojo.

    I'm going to try and introduce her to some Scratch programming before I look for a laptop for her just to see if the interest is real or not.

    Obviously I want to get her something decent without breaking the bank, any suggestions?

    Budget at a push 300, prefer to buy online.

    Keep in mind that basic programming will run on almost anything these days. So pretty much any machine would be enough. If you want to maybe look second hand then that's an option before spending more on a new machine if it's needed.
