Upto £250 Laptop needed for general use and school work (primary and secondary)

I'm in need of 2 laptops for my girls to complete homework and general casual use.
Both in primary although older one will be starting secondary next September so would be in use more then.

Complete noob when it comes to laptops and not sure where to look. If anyone can help or advise what I need to be looking out for it would be appreciated.

    Have you looked at the existing deals already posted? The deal discussions are quite useful in deciding to buy or not.

    Thank you I appreciate that and will keep that in mind. Worth waiting till black Friday to see if any other offers before deciding?

    If they don't do gaming, I recommend Chromebooks. They're cheap & ideal for school work & general browsing. Also, Chromebooks have full access to the Google Play Store. Plus, you'll get about 8 hours on one charge.

    edit: get the ones with 8GB of RAM. (edited)

    You could buy a couple of refurb x280s within that budget. They're solid little workstations.
