Advice on choosing new laptop
My dad has an old Acer running XP 1Gb Ram slow CPU and now support has come to an end hes looking to buy a new one hes seen a couple but i just thought id ask if theres any preference.
Now we are in the UK so not sure if that helps or hinders the choices if you going to suggest places to buy.
Now few of things to know first, dads mainly a web browser, checking emails, downloads occasional films and songs and sometimes burns them to disc, does a little bit of MS word mainly just notes nothing fancy, pays utility bills online etc
Now £450 is the upper limit he wants to spend.
These are the 2 hes seen so far:-
Currys | TVs, Washing Machines, Cookers, Cameras, Laptops
The spec of the more expensive one looks better to me RAM HDD CPU but that's running Windows 8 and the other has 8.1 so im guessing ones an older model if only Win8 is installed.
Can the one running 8 be updated to 8.1(cant see any reason why it cant but just checking)
