A Raspberry Pi and keep the Chromebook was also going to be my suggestion.
However, it sounds like you might be after a general desktop replacement laptop for the household? In which case last time I looked Acer generally represented the best value for cheap laptops with large screens. You could also keep an eye out on scan.co.uk for refurbs: https://www.scan.co.uk/shop/computer-hardware/laptops-home-office/refurbished-laptops
edit: ignore that. there don't seem to be any obvious deals on Acer 17" laptops.

Looking for a pc laptop recommendation.
I’m Mac based so know nothing about PCs but my daughter (who currently has a chromebook) has just started on Python at school.
I had a look at installing it on the chromebook but it’s beyond me so looking at a reasonably priced laptop.
It’ll be used for coding but then probably a general household machine.
Budget £500 or less preferably.cheers
