Could anyone recommend a laptop which would work and not break the bank please.
Perhaps a bit out there but an iPad and the keyboard + the MS Apps might do the trick and be a bit more robust / easier to use than a laptop? A cursory glance at Apple.com looks like you can get a 10.2" + the keyboard for £500. Then you get a subscription to MS Office 365 which includes Word, Excel etc.
Also easier to lock the fuck down and prevent dark shit

She has an iPad but it’s old - maybe 6 years old. And an iPad mini. Strange that she didn’t mention that as a solution although she mentioned it wasn’t updating so that may be the issue.

The App versions of Office are a bit shit though. If you're going that route you may as well get a Chromebook that's cheaper and designed for keyboard/mouse and run the Android app.

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.

It’s a shitstorm here just now as she has lost her homework.
