My daughter who is attending a university in the UK wants to purchase a laptop. Her main requirements will be Word, PowerPoint, e-mail, DVD, download/listen to music. She is not big into games so I don't see the need for a very high powered PC.
Should I purchase in Ireland or the UK - take into account sales (cost) and service?
What types (makes/models) should I consider or avoid?
You might also give me some idea on what specifications I should consider:
Processor
Memory
Hardrive
Graphics
Virus Protection
?
?
etc.
One more thing - will she be able to log onto the university's network? or will I need to get some sort of connection device?
I know there is a lot here but I haven't a clue about PCs other then using them.
Thanks in advance.
