Thank you SO much for all this info and advice! I'll get my daughter to read through all your suggestions because I just don't understand all the technicalities!
We're looking at a middle of the range laptop for games and browsing really, nothing Office related. Something reliable and relatively quick. She's looked at the Mac options but has been told that the Windows 10 option is better for games? I don't know...I've got Windows 7 and an ancient ASUS laptop which suits me fine but I still live in the Dark Ages so..
Budget is £600 onwards..I know the Mac is a grand plus but feel that may be too much of an expense and she's always had a problem with new stuff and justifying the expenditure..
Thank you again for all this help. She'll be very grateful for your feedback.
