    I'm looking for a new computer for xmas, I have an old dell computer around 10 years old that's as slow as a week and basically shagged.
    Looking to know could I buy a laptop or something similar and hook up to the printer as it's perfect, I'm a novice when it comes to technology.

    Shouldn't be problem to get printer connected to new laptop/PC.

    The things to be aware:
    1. if printer is old it might not have drivers available for latest operating system like Windows 10. You can check printer manufacturers website for supported OS for your model.
    2. Unles your printer is network capable(Ethernet or WiFi) you will have to connect it over USB and this would reduce your "mobility", or you have to share it from PC it is connected to. In order to print you will have to have that PC running

    If you post your printer make and model here, would be easyer to advice you on your options

    Check label on the device(back/side/bottom) or at least some letters/numbers on the front/face of it.

    Have a look at the Dell website. They still doing black Friday sale.

    Got a laptop from them last year and am happy out with it.
