Also, I would expect a machine which runs 12.04 would manage 16.04 without too much trouble, and might be cheaper as it has an older OS on it. There's not much else around at the £200 mark.

I would go for any other computer that will run 14.04 or 16.04 out of the box, whether or not I had to overwrite the Windows on it. You don't save much money by going for one with Ubuntu on it.
