[QUOTE="edd_jedi, post: 530294, member: 2"] Yes good advice, you can get decent external USB drives for about £20 now. At your budget the main thing you want is an SSD hard disk, don't be fooled by 'higher capacity' mechanical hard disks that many budget laptops come with which are a lot slower but look appealing due to their size. 8+ GB RAM. And for the processor rather than looking out for i3/i5/i7 what you need to know is what generation processor it is. The current is 10th, so you really don't want to buy anything older than 8th generation (look at the first number after the dash, eg i5-8250 for an 8th generation i5 processor.) For photo editing a high resolution (4k or equivalent) display would be useful, but you might struggle to get one for £500. [/QUOTE]
