Gaming laptop (feddit.uk)

My 9 year old wants a gaming laptop and my laptop spec knowledge is minimal. He wants to play Fortnite and Minecraft and the like, nothing fancy. Any ideas re good laptops to buy, or good places to look? I'm in the UK and my budget is 300 quid tops, ideally less.

In would look into old workstations with decent grapchis cards.

They are super sturdy, so toddler proof, reliable, usually have good repairability and upgradability and can be found cheap. I'll let someone else fill you in on what specs you want since that's a long note.
