Reliable Windows laptop, £500 max

[Turn7]

Will be used for general Windows stuff, albeit for a sole trader business.

Whats decent these days ?

Currys with buying from, or go to Dell ?

You should be able to get a decent Lenovo or Asus for that money - get something with 16GB RAM but other than that it is much of a muchness for general use.

Hardest thing will be finding stock. I've helped 3 people buy a laptop in the past week for a similar budget, all 3 got ASUS machines, 2 from the ASUS Amazon page and 1 from EE. AO seemed expensive for what they had and Currys and John Lewis have very little stock.
