    Which of these 3 laptops for around £500?

    On the lookout for a laptop with good battery,good screen and quick enough. I live close to the border so I figured buying up north might be cheaper. Going back to college to do a post grad so my budget is max £500. Saw these online. Are they too much for me?Should I just go with something with an i3 processor?Only need it for college stuff,browsing etc. I don't game or edit or anything like that. Feel free to suggest other options as I'm not very tech minded! Would prefer not to buy second hand as there may be battery issues.

    Not sure if you’re still on the hunt, but I just picked up one of these, mostly for the screen quality bump you get from an OLED versus similar priced models with traditional screens.

    Might suit your proposed usage fairly well?

    Hi. Thanks for that. I picked up a Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5,14 inch OLED with i5 processor. Saw it on HUKD for £419,on sale in Currys and on Amazon so I bought it on Amazon. Price jumped back to £699 a few hours later in Currys and Amazon. Great laptop,superb screen. Thought a 14 inch would be a bit small but its perfect and will suit when I go back to college.
