Cheaterslick. I usually get them on eBay - being careful to only buy from private sellers with a good reputation. Never had an issue yet. Bree has always suggested Cash Converters - they usually have quite a selection too. Recently bought a 10th generation HP Pavilion 14 core i7 and some nvidia graohics for £360. It only has 8gb ram but I know that model has upgradeable ram so I’ll be putting 16gb in. It’s maybe not the most exciting of laptops but suits me for everything needed - including some light video editing. There are plenty of core i5 8gb 10th gen HP pavilions second hand. The thing with those models though is they came with a 500gb Optane drive - which is a huge pain - I take those out and replace with a standard M2 drive and clean install. So it could mean having to buy an M2 drive as well. But there are plenty without Optane drives.

I think £360 for a three to four year old computer (that has has very little use) isn’t bad. On the other hand for £600 you can get a new core i5 hp pavilion 14. I just didn’t want to spend that and had a spare M2 from a dead laptop.

Don’t think the new ones have upgradeable ram though.
