Which Laptop for technophobe
Discussion
Hi all, my current windows laptop has finally died and I need a new one. Used primarily for web stuff, photos, working from home (remote connection), email and general admin and photo storage.
No gaming.
I want a decent sized screen, fast loading/starting, decent memory and above all reliable.
An ideal would be a back lit keyboard and touchscreen.
Budget around £500.
Also ideally need to purchase today so something from PC world or even Costco would be ideal...

I've just been to the PC World website and set the spec as
£299 - £699
15.6" screen
8GB Ram
SSD
Windows 10
and it comes up with 25 machines.
From what you want it for they are all much of a muchness.
The only thing I would look for specifically is a mouse pad with proper buttons as opposed to ones where you tap the pad because always seem crap to me.
And also I'd not go for a Dell as I've had two previous Dell laptops and they both fell to bits (PSU connection both times).

Chromebook would be my choice for your needs and abilities. You will get a bit more for your money than with a Windows laptop, and it’s more reliable and runs well on lesser hardware. If you dont mind second hand you can probably get an i5 Pixelbook. Very premium machine for the money.
k by Google. or by any modern phone you use.
Does make me laugh, like everyone worried about face databases. They seem to forget their face has been on the DVLA database for years, oh and passports.
Just the fact you use an ISP means all your internet usage can be tracked by the authorities. No one's internet is independant.
Yeah you can use a VPN, but are you telling me no one has an illegal backdoor into any of them?
There are crooks in every company willing to do stuff for cash.
