I recommend you go to a shop that sells laptops, Currys and PC World both sell them.

I'd consider a Chromebook if that is all you want to do. They are cheap, very low maintenance and quick.
What they said ^
My woefully underpowered HP Chromebook (arm processor) still runs as smooth as butter despite costing less than £200 (I got mine free) when it came out three years ago.
Ive found any windows laptop under £500 to last about two years max before it runs like crap.
If you want to run FM its no good - if you just want to browse the net, watch videos and listen to music they're amazing. The Toshiba Chromebook 2 is meant to be one of the best available aside from the pixel.

These two sites provide laptops at trade prices.

You can select the specs and cash you want to spend and see whats available. An i3 would probably suffice. If you're really interested in the chip speed or processor speed - for FM - cross check the speed on a processor benchmark website like this https://www.cpubenchmark.net/ An i5 can be slower than an i3 etc.

Something like this looks decent http://www.laptopsdirect.co.uk/Leno...l_HD_Graphics_BT_DVDRW_15_MCC2WUK/version.asp
I like Lenovos they are a bit better than budget Toshibas and have a bit more style, plus smaller chargers. HPs are solid if less aesthetically pleasing. My company supply laptops so we see a range of different brands.

Over budget but fun - use as a tablet or a laptop - and has SSD http://www.laptopsdirect.co.uk/Leno..._FHD_Silver_Windows_8.1__59440097/version.asp
You can get an i3 machine for around £250. Then consider the quality of the screen, speakers etc. Happy hunting.

Can you run ms office on a Chromebook?

Chrome won't recognise a networked drive though, right? Have to use the web interface (if it has one)? When I was trying it ages back the Chromebook wouldn't see the NAS, but they may have changed it since.
Do like Chrome OS though, the boot time is like the old RISC OS from way back. No point having anything else if you do everything online.
Most home NAS units are able to run plex or something similar for media. I'm pretty sure ChromeOS recognises FTP

My girlfriend picked one of these up the version with the HD screen recently and it is very good.
