March 6, 20224 yr Hi, Looking to buy a refurbished or used Laptop for no more than about £120.00, I just need one so I can watch Sky Go for my footy and TV etc. I recently bought a Chromebook which is no longer compaitable with Sky Go, so just want something with Windows 10 ideally. Any advice or links for a cheap Laptop would be much appreciated! Cheers! Edited March 6, 20224 yr by Blondi

Not sure of the name, but I'm sure Google will help.
March 6, 20224 yr If you can stretch another 50 or 60 quid you can get a brand new one from Currys with a 12 month guarantee. Got the wife a 15.6 Asus for £179 at Christmas Edited March 6, 20224 yr by Gonk
March 6, 20224 yr Good luck if you get an Asus, I got an Asus Vivobook in May 2020, paid £350, I am now looking for a new laptop, it is and has been crap, I'm looking at a Lenovo Thinkpad or Idealpad, deared but has to be better
March 6, 20224 yr It's tier1online.com Lucky to find anything on there for 120, they tend to be higher spec and 249 and upwards, unless it's a chromebook. Oh hang on..

Needs to be sent back.
March 6, 20224 yr I have been told off a couple of people since that they have had them and they weren't good, I have a Lenovo Thinkpad for work and it is very good

March 7, 20224 yr Got three Lenovo ones for the kids for xmas - perfect for browsing, games, watching TV - real bargain, £130 each I think. Plus they are durable as the kids take them everywhere.

Quote Hi all, Thanks for letting us know about Sky Go crashing on your Chromebook device and thanks to all the feedback we believe we have identified the issue. We will be putting in a fix for this in our next Sky Go update due in April (date TBC). I'm sorry for any inconvenience.
March 7, 20224 yr I've got a dell. Love it, its a workhorse. Not too flashy and does everything really well. I do only use it for work though.
March 7, 20224 yr The missus has an Acer and despite it having an i7 processor and plenty of RAM it is a pile of dogshit compared to my HP that is lower spec. No idea why like.
March 7, 20224 yr I've stopped buying from HP/Dell, all my PC's/laptops are purchased from https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/ Get more for the same price of a HP/Dell. Curry's sell some of there PC's. Personally, I wouldn't touch any branded name expect HP/Dell. Acer/Lenovo have been dogshite on the ones I've inherited, then replaced.
March 7, 20224 yr Had Lenovos at work a while back, they were garbage. Moved onto Dells, and they’re alright except a bug that fucks my microphone for Teams/Zooms that they can’t fix. Bought a HP Pavillion yesterday as a family one - junior for homework, me for streaming footy etc - only had it a day but so far so good
