Advice on budget laptop config

Hi,

I need a laptop for

* streaming video (NetFlix, Sky Go, Amazon video ) via HDMI cable to my 22 inch 1080p LCD TV

* LogMeIn to my work desktop

* general web browsing

I have a budget of around £400 - £500.

Would a 6th Generation Core i3 with 8GB RAM be good enough or do I need Core i5 or 7th Generation?

Thanks for your help and advice

Philip

Also, no gaming, but will use Skype video.

We have a fast broadband internet connection

Just about any mid-range system will do the job.  For streaming video, the network connection is more important than the CPU - and i3 will work fine for that job.
