No dedicated GPU so will suck for gaming

Price is excellent though check it has 14" WXGA++ (1600 x 900) screen. Normally these can easily go for £250-£300. If it’s a friend or someone you trust great, anywhere else caveat emptor (buyer beware). It’s too cheap! It’s fine for basic productivity but won’t be able to game on it!

Note although it will be a nice laptop, it is from ~2013, so it will be getting on a bit now. At least it has a year's warranty apparently.

Okay! How do you know it is from 2013?

If you google the name of the laptop and the CPU, you will find reviews or information that will let you know when it was released.

Laptop screen is awful. 1366x768 is a terrible res for a modern laptop.

Okay, I won’t buy it I think! thanks for the advice much appreciated
