  • I posted here recently looking for laptop advice but things have changed dramatically tonight and I now need some urgent advice. I have posted the following on the laptop thread but it seems rather quiet so I am
    Hoping that someone here could advise. Apologies for the cross post but I am trying to clear up a tearful situation quickly.

    Here is the post - any help greatly appreciated as she has exams starting now!

    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.

  • Whatever you get next, install Dropbox as a backup system, that way she won’t lose her homework again

    Sounds like it has to be a pc? If Mac id go with a 2nd hand MacBook Air

  • Thanks for that advice. The current laptop froze and she couldn’t get the docs back. I’m presuming Dropbox auto backs up as you type?
