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.



Finally decided on this;

Yuk! A *Celeron* processor!?

Celeron now != Celeron 10 years ago...

If he'd had looked at CCL computers like I recommended, for the same
price he could've got this one:
HP 250 G3 15.6" 4GB 500GB Core i3 Laptop


But paid extra for the software, anti virus, mouse, bag etc.


Plus the after sales service at CCL is far superior than PC World who
are useless with after sales service.
Oh well, each to their own I suppose.
