Need a new laptop

[Darthchaffinch]

My current one's struggling to do anything: have a budget of £500 and will be surfing and using Lightroom (maybe a little Photoshop). Any ideas please (I'm useless when it comes to computers in general...).

This looks a possibility? http://www.ebuyer.com/646905-hp-350-g1-laptop-f7y65ea-abu

If you have 500quid, spend it all on the best spec. Will perform better now and last you longer.
That one you show only has an i3 cpu, I'm sure you could find something with an i5

17" monitor might be nice to, or you could buy a separate 22" desktop monitor and plug it into that when processing pics.
