@09c9bf8a81a24f53 What do you think of this one (same model, two different stores)?

It's not the best gaming laptop, but it can probably handle medium graphics settings with the packs you've listed, and it has enough storage to not be a problem, which isn't true of most laptops in this price range. It also has a decent screen, especially in this price range. Its graphics chip is the fastest I'm seeing for under £300, although there are other options that should still be able to handle low-medium settings if the one above isn't what you had in mind. For example:

I think the first is significantly better; these are just alternatives in case you don't like that one for some reason.

If you have more questions, about these or in general, please feel free to ask

Thank you very much for your help @puzzlezaddict. I've noticed you have offered lots of people similar help over time so thank you for being a huge support for all.
I decided to go with the lenovo. I've had a similar one for a couple of years and I cant fault it, and I've also used other lenovos for work and despite being manhandled and tossed around in a bag, they've been loyal lol.... the Asus one my sister has had and the hinges/lower screen has come apart. Figured the lenovo might be a little more robust for the kids.
Thank you so so sooooo much, you certainly made the task so much less painful... I was going around in circles..... from myself and 2 soon to be happy kids, thank you 😊
