Decent for the money, add some memory and an SSD and it would be a reasonably quick machine. Hot from me.

Don't forget to use trimforce enable command in terminal.
I'm not able to decide which one to buy from the below three.
I will use laptop mainly for web browsing & watching movies etc (not interested in playing games)
My budget is £300 to £350 pounds. Can someone please help!!
I think a 2.7Ghz dual core i5 seems fine for the price, especially since it wouldn't be used for gaming...

They are low performance parts designed for battery life rather than performance - they have similar performance to second generation (i.e. Core i5 2xxx) 'M' parts.
There is nothing wrong with them, you just need to know what you are buying and why :smiley: If you want a laptop that is as thin and light as possible, with as long a battery life as possible, they are great; otherwise get a 'M' version that's slightly heavier and thicker, and you'll find it has much more performance.

A bit expensive but i5 processor, so go for this one & upgrade RAM
Option 2) Asus X555LA - Core i3-5005U 2 GHz + + 4 GB RAM + 1 TB HD £294.94

Buy this one & upgrade RAM
Option 3) Lenovo G50 - Core™ i3-4005U 1.7GHz + 8 GB RAM + 1 TB HD £299.97

No need to upgrade RAM, but I have to compromise on processor (this one got 4th generation i3 processor)
Please advise. Thanks.
