Time has come to replace the tower PC with a laptop, so I'm after some
advice from the learned people here, since I'm a computer numpty.

I'm looking for something around 16". I don't play games (only solitaire)
I don't watch films or download music. Don't want a touchscreen, much
prefer keyboard/mouse.

I use Word & Excel frequently, sometime quite big documents. I surf the
net often & use e-mail a lot. We have 4G WiFi at home, probably won't
ever take it out, but will use upstairs in the office, on the deck &
downstairs in the lounge.

Reluctant to change from MS Windows simply because I know how to use it.

Any advice on processor type, memory, make, supplier much appreciated.

Why are you bothering?
I've got a laptop and a desktop and much prefer the desktop.
I've got big hands and the keys on the laptops are far too small for me.
I use the laptop with a mouse, the mouse thing on a laptop is ****.
I've a 22" monitor which I love, the smaller laptop screen is ****.
Just buy a cheap laptop and keep the desktop.
FFS don't blow 500 quid on one!
I got the laptop free btw. I would not buy one.
