I say the same thing to everyone buying a laptop, do you use it for anything offline or is it all predominantly internet based stuff?

 

If it is the latter then look at a Chromebook, cheap as chips, super quick to start up, no issues with Windows updates and all the usual horrors that comes with Microsoft.

If all online then seriously think about the Chromebook, all your photos can be stored in the Google cloud and although that may make you feel nervous it is way more robust than on a hard disc in a laptop.

 

Use the Google docs for any letter writing, etc.

 

Almost every bit of software that you may want to use is available as a service online, so no need to keep up to date, etc it is all done for you.

 

No virus worries either.

 

A Chromebook isn't for everyone, but if you have a decent broadband speed then it can be a brilliant solution.

 

There are Microsoft equivalents too if you have a masochistic desire.

 

Do a bit of online reading, it might be something that works for you and it gives you options.

 

The laptop you are looking at will be fine too if that is what you want :)

Viking - I changed to Windows 10 some months ago. For two days, I tried to uninstall it and gave up. Kept getting warnings about losing files, which I had never heard of. Now, I think it is a definite improvement on Windows 8 series.

 

Easy to use, in answer to your question.

Thats Because it is using your machine to find ALL ABOUT YOU, The Windows is second to your to your requirements.

Its A lot like GOOGLE, When they can tell you more about yourself than you know, it will RUN Windows.

Its All about Snooping, simply that,, Thats why They give it you..

anyone want to buy a laptop, and im not kidding, going to sell this and get the screen fixed on my old one,

 

Too late now, but shop around. There's a lot of people on-line offering laptops with Windows 7 installed, knowing just how popular Windows 8 & 10 are.

 

Having said that, I installed 10 on a none-too-quick notebook and it's running OK. My pal, however, had an absolute nightmare and ended up having to have his main business computer returned to his local expert for reversion to 7. I have still to take the plunge with my main house and business computers, both of which run on 7.
