Are there any Dell or other laptop experts here?

I'm hoping there are some autistic computer geniuses here who can help me decide between 3 REFURBISHED laptops. I am so not a computer genius, quite the opposite.

These all cost £250 and they are from a seller I trust:

1. Dell XPS 13 L322X Core i7-3537U 2.00GHz 8GB DDR3 128GB SSD FHD Webcam Laptop

2. Dell Latitude 3550 Core i5-5200U 2.20GHz 8GB DDR3 128GB SSD Webcam HDMI Laptop

3. Dell Latitude 6430u Core i7-3687U 8GB DDR3 128GB SSD Webcam Windows 10 Laptop

EDIT- just found another candidate Dell Inspiron 15 5520 Core i5-3210M 2.50GHz 8GB Ram 500GB HDD Webcam HDMI Laptop at £220. I like the Inspiron I've got, so maybe?

I can provide the links to eBay if you want, that's where I copied those descriptions from^

What I want is a laptop to replace my current Inspiron 5558, which is really on its last legs, it's about 7 years old. I want as much RAM as possible, a screen of *at least* 13 inches, an SSD.

I do not play any games on my laptop, I mostly use it for writing in Word; going on social media; sending emails; shopping online.

Is there anyone who is able to advise me?

Thanks.

    Here's the thing: the "best" laptop really depends on what Starla (love the name by the way!) needs it for.  If she's a whiz at video editing, a powerful machine with top-notch graphics is a must.  But for someone who mainly surfs the web and checks email, a more basic model might be the perfect fit.

    In my experience, Dell XPS laptops consistently rank high for their balance of performance, design, and durability.  They might not be the cheapest option out there, but they're built to last.  However, if budget is a major concern, there are some fantastic options from Acer and Asus that pack a punch without breaking the bank.

    One thing to remember: don't get too bogged down in specs!  Sometimes reading reviews and comparing features can make your head spin.  Think about what Starla will be using the laptop for most often, and prioritize those features.
