Without knowing your use and preferences it's hard to say.  No SSD and 4GB of memory means I wouldn't opt for any of them for general use unless they had any redeeming qualities not listed in the specs like a high quality screen.

So I should increase my price range?

I'll be using the laptop for general browsing and watching Blu Ray movies with an optical Blu Ray drive.

Specs:

1Tb HDD.

FHD Screen.

Reliable.

Quad Core processors.

Screen size above 13 inch's.

I'd swap the 1TB hdd spec for a 256gb ssd based model.  Still plenty of room for your described usage.

The high resolution screen I can understand if you want to see a lot of the website, although if you're buying blu-rays I'd also want a good quality one.

But why the large, slow storage if you're playing blu-rays from disc?

And why the requirement for the more powerful processor?

1. The files that I download are on some occasions larger than the maximum storage space for an SSD, so a 1tb HDD is enough, besides, if the HDD is slow but not that slow, then so be it.

2. The computer that I have now (which is 9 years old) has a basic Intel Celeron Processor and on some occasions, it slows down. The Intel Core Processor, the one that I want is quad, which will allow me to do more than 1 thing, is a lot better than than Celeron.

Another question:

If you had a computer, which had a headphone socket on the right side, and you decided that you need a brand new computer, would it matter that much as to where the headphone socket is at?

A decent 1TB SSD like an MX500 in M.2 form factor runs to about £70 these days. SSDs are no longer small and expensive. (a 1TB hard drive is around £30-35).

Intel's marketing is confusing. A modern Celeron is much faster than one of nine years ago despite sharing the same name and core count.

If a Celeron has been acceptable for most of nine years than an i5 is going to the other extreme and spending large amounts on extra power you have no use for. That's be fine if it was on top of a otherwise decent system, but a hard drive will slow you down in future just as much as your current celeron has so spending extra on the processor is wasted money.

Presumably you regularly use the socket?

Depending on how and where you use the laptop headphone sockets in certain locations can certainly be potentially troublesome. For example headphone sockets towards the front can interfere with a mouse or headphone sockets on the front edge may not work well with the laptop on your knee.

I use the socket everyday and night.

I use the laptop that I currently have on my bed during the day, and on a table at night.

The headphone socket is on the right side of the laptop that I'm using now, and I also use a USB socket on the left for the cooling fan.
