[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 6069206, member: 54866"] You really want one with an intel i5. Don't go mad and get the i7 unless there is a silly deal on one. It will not make any difference to your everyday running. I would try to get one with 8GB of RAM in all honesty. Microsoft office is available as a yearly subscription or a standalone and can be downloaded at home. Do you want a conventional laptop, or how about a Microsoft surface pro which can do laptop and tablet in one? [URL]https://www.johnlewis.com/microsoft-surface-pro-6-tablet-intel-core-i5-8gb-ram-128gb-ssd-12-3-inch-touchscreen-platinum/p3801251[/URL] John Lewis do deals on them and 2 year accidental damage cover is only £80. You can also buy a protector case for it and take it with you when out and about etc. You can still connect these devices and any laptop to larger monitors in the office at home if you so wish. I used to use mine with a full size keyboard and mouse. If you just want a basic laptop, then go for a Lenovo or Acer or Asus. I would not particularly worry these days about hard drive capacity because you can buy external HDDs for reasonable money and you should be backing them up for business use anyway. If you do subscribe to the posh version of MS office as I do, you will get free space on OneDrive to go with it, ie cloud storage. It might pay to go to John Lewis and try the laptops and surface pros they have there, they have good sales staff in these places. Microsoft also do a very smart Surface Laptop but they are not cheap. You really should have an antivirus suite on any PC these days. I use Norton and have for years. There are others. Generally a free one is not good enough. Don't use Kaspersky- its Russian.... Hope this covers all your questions. [/QUOTE]
