So I'm looking for a cheap laptop that can Run World of Warcraft, Sims 4 and Photoshop. My budget is around the £300 pound mark. Before you go on that desktops are better, which they are but do not require my needs as I travel a lot.
I know I'm most likely unable to get a brand new laptop for this price, so I have been looking at secondhand and refurbished.
So if people could give me links or names of laptops. NO SOFTWARE INFORMATION as that means nothing to me.
Cheap Laptops that can run WoW?

A little cheaper in an Acer. Slightly lower CPU, no DVDRW

£297 i3-3110M HP system lowers the graphics and battery life a little bit and choose your brand:

This refurb Core i7 is actually a low performing i7 and probably at 1.7GHz rather than the 2.3 listed

It is a bit cheaper and well rated, but is not notably better than the 13-3110M and is a refurb
Generally, I'm unimpressed with used laptops. If you are going to go used/refurb

That gets a better brand as Samsung, though the Lenovo B series is OK also, and this refurb is excellent condition. You can get a new i3-3110M system at about the same price with less ram.
The best performance of the set is the A10 based one at the top with the strong built-in graphics.
It should play SIMS 4 at medium settings
The HD 4000 systems are closer to low settings.
Considering strong UK warranties on new systems that they can be returned for 2 years with the right negotiating, a 3 month warranty refurb at lower performance at a little lower price just doesn't seem enticing. I went through about 70 systems specifications to come up with these and for each price, is worth at least what it costs. Spend a bit more and get a bit more on each of them.
WoW should not be an issue on any of these.

That budget is to low, requirements for sims 4:
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E4300 or AMD Athlon 64 X2 4000+ (2.0 GHz Dual Core required if using integrated graphics)
CPU Speed: Info
RAM: 2 GB
OS: Windows XP
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 6600 or ATI Radeon X1300 or Intel GMA X4500
Sound Card: Yes
Free Disk Space: 10 GB
thats minimum, make sure what your looking for meets those requirements

You'll want something with dedicated graphics, or possibly a generation 4 intel (i5 or i7) processor. Either way, I think you'll need to spend a little more.

It's good you have a fixed budget. You may try checking online stores for great discounts.Look for a features with at least a 2.0GHz processor and 2GB RAM. That should be sufficient for almost all web browsing tasks.
