  • Advice needed please:

    Mrs sacred has a laptop, 6 yr old toshiba satelite c660-10d

    It was a budget buy, £350.

    Has been fine but now very slow, friezes for ages when updating.

    Its running windows 10.

    I was going to get an ssd installed by a forumer a while back and never followed it up.

    Her requirements for a laptop are:
    Decent size screen (for a laptop)
    Proper keyboard
    Ability to run microsoft office/ word as she mostly does work stuff on it, writing reports and such
    Bit of internet
    Watch films

    Am i best off sorting out the ssd or selling the old one for a couple of quid and buying a new budget laptop.
    If the latter what are some decent options.

    Im fed up with seeing her frustrated when it friezes and delays her work.

    Neither of us is computer savvy particularly. I can find my way around android and mac but i find windows baffling.

    Thanks!

    A Chromebook would be a good option here too. More versatile than an iPod with a laptop.

    Absolutely agree with @ExTra on MS Office - Google Apps will do everything she needs.

  • I was going to suggest a Chromebook too, but I have found the cheap Chromebooks are just cheap and if you are going for a top end one, isn't it better to go for a budget laptop? (My experience with Chromebooks is very limited)
