thank you for your reply

Would windows 8 be easy for him to use, like i say we do struggle technically, and this lap top has windows 7 on it and i find it fine.

Just thought i'd give you a up-date, i stopped searching, because i'd not been well.

so hubby went and got his own desktop.

he just went to our local computer store, he'd heard people say the guy is ok.

Can't remember the specs of the top of my head, but he got

500gig hard drive
8 gig memory
dvd reader/rewriter
amd dual core something processor
genuine windows 7 (got the disc in the box)
wireless
3 year gaurantee

He paid £259 for it.

don't know if we paid over the odds, or what but it was within our budjet, and it's much faster than the old one, which my s-i-l has taken to play about with.

thanks for all of your help
