Laptop help?

Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced laptop for DS to use for the remainder of year 11 and that will last him for college and further education 🤞.
I’ve had s quick look on - line but there’s poor availability on the cheaper ones and I’m not sure really what I’m looking at
Any help gratefully received
Thanks in advance

Don’t know enough about them but DD (Y12)and DH both have cromebooks and really happy with them and a fraction of the cost. I know DD got a bit frustrated as not MS office which she was used to but seems happy enough with it

Hopefully Alevels and then some sort of forensic science
He has just been diagnosed with ASD and ADHD a couple of years ago so we are planning on things taking a little longer as he has not been taught in an appropriate way .

Ok, so not media. A Chromebook or Windows laptop should be fine then.

You can use Microsoft Office on a Chromebook, you just use the O365 online version.

What sort of budget are you thinking of?

I have no idea really ,
I want it to be decent but equally he can be a bit careless and clumsy ( has broken our current one but it was old ) so not super expensive.

Spec wise
AMD Ryzen 3 or Intel i3 processor
4Gb Ram or more
128Gb SSD or larger

Maybe look at the outlet stores for Dell or HP.
