From my experience the cheaper ones never last long.

Had a couple of acer laptops before, plumped for a sony vaio this time round and 2 years on I feel no ned to replace it yet

Depends how serious you are about photo editing too. A £250 laptop will not have a very good display panel. It will have a poor contrast ratio and the colour rendition will not be that good. You can improve colour accuracy with a monitor calibration device though. You can always use an external monitor to edit on if you can afford to fork out for a monitor

HP Stream series are meant to be good for the budget end, although it's still going to struggle with Lightroom etc.

Anything below £250 is going to be worse than anything above £250, but if that's the budget then that's the budget.
