Hello

Need some help!

I am wanting to buy OH a new laptop for his birthday. He currently has an ancient Dell which is not particularly healthy. Doesnt charge properly despite him buying a new charger and the mouse is also not too clever.

I was thinking of buying him this:

He only uses it for using the internet. He doesnt use it for gaming.

Can anyone advise me please.

Thanks

    If it's old, the charging problem is more likely to be the battery. What's the mouse problem?

    A £300 laptop will do internet.
