need dual channel ram eg 2x8 gb = 16gb is great
2x4 = 8gb is ok
ryzen 5 processors should be fine for light gaming and what you need

So XPS will be 13\" or 15\" screens normally Windows Home 10 or 11 versions (could be some PRO)
Latitude are the business range ...so normally Windows Pro 10 or 11 ..... normally there are 3 series escalating in price 3000/5000/7000 series models. 2nd character in model no. is normally screen size 3rd character is processor generation.
Eg this Latitude 5410 is 5000 series/14\" screen/10th gen processor

If youre looking at buying a Dell ask the seller to give you a screenshot of the battery condition from the bios ..ideally you want one in excellent condition. Plus if you ask the seller for the Dell Service Tag number you can look it up on the Dell website to check the spec of the machine as originally sold by Dell.
You may find machines with touchscreens but you'll probably struggle to get better than full HD screens at that price.
Good luck "},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52501283","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"pekoz1"},"datePublished":"2024-04-01T20:14:02.000Z","text":"would it have to be brand new at that price?"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52501301","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"WhichWord"},"datePublished":"2024-04-01T20:17:36.000Z","text":"eBay?"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52501415","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"pekoz1"},"datePublished":"2024-04-01T20:40:22.000Z","text":"1/ would you consider a 14\" screen as you may get a wider choice ....most ex-business laptops will probably be 14\" with lesser 13\" and 15.6\" numbers (i would think...no hard facts)
2/ What sort of ram and storage size do you think you'll need? A lot of machines will be 8gb ram/256Gb ssd storage...
3/ what sort of screen resolution do you need ? Full HD 1920 x 1080 or better?
I dont really know much about Macs to know how good a 2014 MacBook Pro is?
Thanks"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52501452","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"HalCapone"},"datePublished":"2024-04-01T20:46:42.000Z","text":"14\" could do as something small to use on travel
500GB SSD would do me same as 8GB ram as that is my current setup. But if i can get more ram that be nice.
Defo like full HD 1920 x 1080 or better would be nice."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52504427","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"HalCapone"},"datePublished":"2024-04-02T11:42:11.000Z","text":"Few weeks back I picked up this laptop for family member.
