I have been out of the 'laptop' buying game for a while now, but have been tasked with sourcing a sub-£500 laptop for some of the family.
I've done my own research, and found the Dell Inspiron 5000 on Amazon UK looking like a good buy, but it is similar to the one I was given at work and, although a good all-round runner, the resolution is something I simply find unacceptable in almost 2017.
I've looked about but cannot settle on a good alternative for the follow tasks:
This Lenovo Ideapad 100 is another option, but again has the 720p resolution and the battery life looks quite poor.
Can anybody offer any advice on good Acer laptops as I haven't had experience with them for years, but know they are usually good value for money.
Many thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

I've looked about but cannot settle on a good alternative for the follow tasks:
- Multimedia management, photos, video playback etc.
- Blu-Ray player.
- General browsing.
- Microsoft Office and productivity.
- Possibly very light gaming, think online games for children aged 6 and 9.
