Hi, my daughter has just turned 10 and this Christmas is proving really hard as she's in that in between age where she doesn't like toys anymore, isn't a gamer but is no where near into make up, jewellery etc but she is constantly going on about loving doing computer work at school so we have decided to get her, her first laptop which isn't too expensive and flashy as she isn't running a business, ha ha but will last her till her secondary years hopefully so has to have the right software on there? I have no idea as I've never owned a laptop and don't use computers in my job so can anybody help with some suggestion if possible? Thank you all Smile

My suggestion would be a Chromebook then pay for a Microsoft Office account so she can use word/powerpoint/excel etc.

The chromebooks are low cost, and pretty much web/app based so are fast and have built in malware.

Good for games too (Google Play Store for app games).

Thank you @BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz
Ok I will have a look at chrome books now, sorry to be completely lost on this sort of thing but how do you add the software? Smile
