There's a whole range of options out there so it's useful to narrow it down a bit.
Budget is obviously the main thing, how much do you want to spend, new or second hand?
The size/weight, will she be carrying it around all day or is that not too important? Will it get bashed around or will it mainly be sat on a desk? Will it be used standalone or mainly with a keyboard and monitor?
How important is battery life?
Is it Word or is it just some form of word processor (e.g. would google docs be OK)? Is it used for anything else, gaming, programming, etc

Sorry for jumping in here. First time on this thread. My daughters laptop just died as I was walking home from the pub! Desperate phone call with tears was not the nicest to hear.
She is 13 and needs it for school - Word mainly I think. I had a look at Which and they recommend really expensive laptops which I don’t think she needs. I recently posted on the Apple thread about this and Apple are you expensive at this point and for her usage.
Could anyone recommend a laptop which would work and not break the bank please.
It’s a shitstorm here just now as she has lost her homework.
