    Hi all,
    Advice needed please from this silver surfer.Our laptop,bout 8 years old seems to have seen better days.We would like to buy a new one but not sure,in fact no idea,what is best.We have set a maximum of £500 to buy one.
    It would be used for net browsing and Skype for my better half to talk and see her family who live abroad.
    So,is it possible to purchase one,reliable,for our budget?If so,which?

    Thanks in advance folks.

    Reported that Swans have tabled a bid for Wigan winger. Jamal Lowe. ....... wonder how much they bid ?
    Bet if some other club offers. Five hundred quid they would win.

    If it's just browsing and Skype then you can spend a lot less than £500. The choice is somewhat overwhelming, so maybe do a UK search for something like "best laptop 2020" and if you look at a few different sites then a pattern should emerge and pick one accordingly. And I certainly wouldn't waste good money on overpriced(hyped) Apple stuff.

    Edit: As you can afford it, can I suggest you get at least a 15"+ screen with 1080p resolution (it'll all be in the "details"). Even if you have great eyesight (at your age :grin:) you'll still benefit from a bigger screen.

    Mrs Bubbs MacBook Pro was going slower and slower and was 13 years old so she bought that ASUS model listed. Fast processing speed, decent graphics card, pre-installed MS Office pro s/w (free for 1-yr/subscription thereafter) and loads of storage. Light too. The clincher was the touch screen (may seem odd but I did say just how useful a touch screen is nowadays). I’ve got a MacBook Pro that’s hardly used. iPad/iPhone in daily use, and a Surface Pro for work. My advice? Get a good tablet where you can do all the surfing, shopping and social media a laptop can do. The only downside with a tablet is no storage or ability to play media from a usb or cd/dvd - but I guess that’s so last year as everything is cloud based nowadays. Essentially-consider what you want a laptop for (storage of photos?) if you don’t use it for that and simply surf n shop - get a good tablet* would be my advice.

    *There are plenty out there nowadays you need not plump for an iPad.
