Hey guys,
I have an auntie who wants to buy my cousin his first laptop for christmas, as he's going to start needing one for school.
Pretty much all he will be doing on it is playing Minecraft, doing school work on Microsoft Office and browsing the web.
Their budget is £300, but if you find anything very slightly over, they may be convinced to go up, if it's worth it.
I am really struggling to find a good laptop for that price though, so far it is between the following.
Asus X551CA
Asus X502
Compaq PDC
HP255
Toshiba Satellite Pro C50-A15-L
HP ProBook 4545s
Lenovo G505
From what I can see, the HP ProBook 4545s looks the best spec, and is also made out of aluminium so should be solid.
Anyone know of anything else, or got any suggestions regarding my current finds?
Help appreciated

Buy carefully and get a 12 month old laptop that originally sold for £600-1000 within your budget.
I'm sure you're aware that Microsoft Office is not a free program but several free alternatives are available.

Yes we already have a copy of Office anyway, so that's fine.
They don't want to go second hand, they want to go new, so if you could give suggestions for new laptops, I'd appreciate
