kat1 I'd be interested to hear from others too want to do the same. I want a laptop max £300 plus Microsoft Office. So far I have seen a Compaq model 15-a003sa for £279 from PC World which I am considering.
I wouldn't say that, edmund - it's just very different from the old Dell I've worked on for years, and the whole process of being mouseless, and whisking across pages, and not having a keyboard, is foreign to me....!
It's the worst operating system in the history of the universe ever- turns your laptop into a giant mobile phone with apps for everything and you can't find anything naturally. I HATE it :(
