Sausage, mash and cabbage. Best use a tray though so you don't get gravy on your trousers.

I run an expensive Toshiba and it's shit. The picture goes fuzzy and jumps. The wifi is intermittent and the cable connector loose. Cost me £1000 and it's shit.

Just get a Google Chromebook. Use Google Docs as a substitute for MS Office, both are exactly the same for WP and you can open both types of docs on both platforms.

T460s are DECENT lufbra.
We've moved on to the T480 now but does a good job as a corporate device.

You can get Microsoft Office for a tenner on ebay - people selling off Home Use Program licenses from their employer

I got the LENOVO - IdeaPad 510S 14" Laptop. Does a job for around 500 quid. Very light.
But it's almost 2 years old now so probably even better stuff out there.

Take my last post for example, I typed this on an external 'Victsing?' keyboard that I bought unseen from the internet. It's a bit crap.
That's why I missed the u in would...

If it's just basic school work and internet you want, I'd forego the MS Office and spend the saving on RAM/processor/screen size.
Libre Office and Open Office are both excellent, fully-compatible, free alternatives.

Having been through many, apart from the basic spec, I wold say 'liking the keyboard' is a major factor, for me anyway.
Until they plug our brains in directly, this remains the main route of communication, so it's worth making sure you/they like this.

What's the budget?
Main thing with buying a laptop is looking for RAM, Processor Power, and then any specifics around portability and screen size.
Key in all of this is knowng the budget you have then just maximising the specifics above to that budget, since any laptop you can buy will do the things you describe on the day you buy it.
