Looking for a budget, but reliable laptop

Greystoner · 2015-05-17 12:31:39

Hi, any advice on this? We need it for word processing and as a backup for photos etc. Had a quick look already, but nothing seems to include word processing. Budget is €400. Thanks.

If you don't need MS Office and Word compatibility then any laptop with Windows (or Linux) can have Open Office or Libre Office added for free so you can do some word processing.

LibreOffice will do the job fine for Word, Spreadsheets etc.
