Hi I am looking to get a lap top for my daughter she wants to play roadbloxs , watch netflicks , do PowerPoint presentations for school and use word for school projects .
I wanted to buy something in the Black Friday deals on amazon as don’t want to spend too much preferr under £200 . I looked on amazon and their are cloud books , tablets , chromebooks and laptops . I have no idea what I need which will have the application to run roadblox and do school work etc with enough memory that it won’t slow down . Would you be able to tell me out of all the laptops on amazon which would be the best as I just don’t understand what I even need to look for ? Really appreciate any help x

I don't think you'll find what you want for that amount of money.

I recently researched laptops for someone who wanted to spend between $400 - $600 US (£311.65 - £467.47) and we found only a few below $600 (£467.47).

Do you mean Roblox?

If so, a Chromebook works but not for recording your gameplay

Streaming Netflix on a chromebook requires installing a VPN and that can get complicated.

Powerpoint on a chromebook might also present a bit of a challenge.

My advice, buy a laptop running Windows. That will allow her to play Roblox, stream Netflix, and work on Powerpoint and Word files.

The problem will be finding something at the price you want.

Don't buy anything with a hard drive smaller than 256GB. Some appear good but only have a 32GB hard drive and every time Windows 10 gets an update, (twice a year), she'd have to clean install but the hard drive would not have enough room for the install.
