Help needed choosing a laptop & office package please

Lotus

I need to buy a new laptop and I don't want to pay a lot for it. I only use one for browsing the internet, making online purchases, using Excel and occasionally watching YouTube or an online TV service like ITVX or Prime video. I don't need much storage as I only save a small amount of documents on it - I don't download music, videos, etc. and I don't use it for gaming either.

There are cheap laptops on the Argos website - some have Windows 11 and others use Google Chrome. The googling I've done suggests one with Windows 11 would be better if I want to install a Microsoft office package which includes Excel - is that correct?

I think that 4gb RAM and 64gb of storage would be enough for my needs?

Also, can anyone advise about buying an office package that includes Excel with a lifetime licence, as I don't want a subscription. How much is this likely to cost and where is best to purchase it?

  • Hi. I don’t know much about the packages but I do recommend you go with windows as opposed to Google chrome. I’m not up on all the models but I have an hp convertible so you can use as a tablet device as well if you want. I got mine back in 2022 but I can’t remember the price. Sorry I’m not much help
