    Hi, after a chromebook, for general interneting stuff/emailing, but need office as well with Word and Excel. What do people recommend? Been using an iPad fom the last few years and using my company laptop, but IT being based in Spain and our servers being there, means I can no longer download stuff/have my own program’s etc. computers aren’t my thing really so any help or guideance appreciated.
    Thanks

    Don’t believe you can get MS Office but Google docs lets you edit Word docs and there is a spreadsheet that looks extremely similar. I’ve an ASUS C300M I’m happy with. Toshiba chromebook 2s get good reviews.

    Have a try in PC World, then buy one from Maplins.

    Word docs can end up looking “funky’ when edited with Google docs. I love my Chromebook I’m a convert.

    Needs to be office, missus needs to prescribe remotely when on call and ‘funky’ prescriptions ain’t going to go down well.

    New HP stream laptops are about that money, come with windows and 1 yr office subscription (includes the apps and online). Worth a look?
