Budget gaming laptop for young teen

Hi everyone, I'm looking to purchase a new laptop for my son. He loves making games and coding on roblox /Minecraft. I'm not sure what one to get for him. Any suggestions thanks for your help!

    On the mobile app version it doesn't seem to let me search in discussions. I can only use search in deals

    How much money do you want to spend?

    Basic "gaming" laptops are usually £500-£650

    That's OK I was looking at something like this HP Victus Gaming Laptop 15-fb0020na Bundle with HyperX Pulsefire Mouse & HyperX Cloud Stinger Headset | AMD Ryzen 5-5600H | Radeon RX 6500M |8GB RAM | 256GB SSD | 15.6” FHD | Windows 11 Home |Black amzn.eu/d/f…AH7 which is now an expired deal. Is this worth waiting to see if it drops again eg on prime day

    Firstly, does it have to be a laptop? Have you considered a desktop manchine. It'll either by massively cheaper for the same kind of specs, or if you spend the same it'll be a lot more powerful. Also a better experience generally, way more expandable with a longer service life, a lot more robust etc. too.

    And of course laptops are very prone to damage, especially with kids.
