Hi all, wondered if I could please get some recommendtions.
Am looking to buy (not build!) a desktop PC, perhaps a Dell, HP, Lenovo or similar.
It is for the mother-in-law, and I really, really need simple & reliable to be the keywords here, to minimise the ongoing support that I currently provide! LOL.
Anyway, any suggestions welcome that meet (or near) the following specs:
Base unit only (will keep current mouse, keyboard, monitor, speakers).
Windows 7 (pro is fine but not needed).
Energy efficient (ish).
Small (ish).
Quiet.
More oomph than the current P4 1.6 system that it will be replacing (so I imagine a Core2Duo system, although i3 would be great).
£400 max budget, but I get bonus points if cheaper
Preferably comes with MS Office (else I will buy home & student, despite how much I keep showing her the benefits of Open Office).
I will install Thunderbird, and then Cloudmark which we already have a subscription for.
Thanks for helping.
