Consider storage, battery life, and portability before buying a 500-pound laptop. For productivity on-the-go, the weight should not exceed 3 kg. At the same time, the runtime of a fully charged battery should be at least 6 hours.

A standard resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels is good enough for work, study, and entertainment. Some laptops under £500 may also feature 1366 x 768 p or 1920 x 1200 p displays. A laptop with a less than 15-inch screen size can work perfectly with a slightly lower or higher PPI (Pixel per inch).

Other Factors to Consider

It's better to get an SSD instead of an HDD for seamless functionality. You can get anything up to a 256GB SSD in this price range. If you want a better resolution or other features like a touchscreen, you might have to compromise on the storage capacity. Ideally, at least 64 GB of external storage is necessary for saving any files or multimedia you want.
