Dd is year 7 and needs one for homework. I know nothing! What does it need? How much storage/ memory? Does it need intel? (What even is intel?) No idea what I’m looking at. Budget- as little as reasonably possible please!

What is he going to do on it? Homework? Gaming? Streaming YouTube?

Intel is a company that make the processor.

No gaming or YouTube needed. She just wants it for homework. Apparently it’d need word, PowerPoint and publisher?

This one is pretty good and comes with a years subscription to Microsoft Office www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/computing/laptops/laptops/hp-stream-14-intel-celeron-laptop-32-gb-emmc-white-10181482-pdt.html

I would advise using an external harddrive to save docs on to.

Dd has a Lenovo ideapad which is light and neat . Issue is that 32gb memory is quite tight to run Windows 10 and Office so go for larger capacity.
