Yes I will be buying in spain. Gone now . Thanks to all especially for the amazon refurbs link. wife came up with some good offers on there.Sounds to me like you're better off buying in Spain how long are you over here for?
You need to stop hammering it when posting about annihilating people etc.On my original asus it was the keyboard that packed up from 4>7 diagonally down to the bottom. worn out.Last cheapie was ok but motherboard fried itself.

Doubt it!I like Apple products so that would be my recommendation.
They seem to go on forever.
Watch now that will be the death call for my Mac![]()
I tried a Chromebook but it was too limited for the tasks and programs i needed , especially when no internet offshore and i needed a big Harddrive /SSD memory for all the data etcWhat can't you do when not connected to the internet? I can't think of anything I can't do with mine, but I'm open to you enlightening me.
What can't you do with 16gb of memory, when you have an operating system that requires very little memory (unlike Windows)?
You're confusing memory with storage space.I tried a Chromebook but it was too limited for the tasks and programs i needed , especially when no internet offshore and i needed a big Harddrive /SSD memory for all the data etc

One thing you'll need to think about is MS will stop supporting Win 10 soon, from memory, next year but cross that bridge when you come to it.Thanks to all especially those recommending refurbs.

sure this said it was ok for 11?One thing you'll need to think about is MS will stop supporting Win 10 soon, from memory, next year but cross that bridge when you come to it.
But will you have to pay to upgrade!sure this said it was ok for 11?
Don't think the op will have to pay. As long as it's compatible they can upgrade now or when they feel like it. W11 seems pretty stable to me now but as said earlier I always recommend the pro versions rather than home but you will only be able to upgrade like for like. As long as it's not ancient it should be fine. It's easy to check in updates.But will you have to pay to upgrade!
As I said wait and see and we'll get you loving Linux;

Upgrade would have to be via media creation route currently?Don't think the op will have to pay. As long as it's compatible they can upgrade now or when they feel like it.

Based on your usage a tablet would be adequate and has many be efits over a laptop. You can get these with keyboard/stand covers. We have one each and use them for everything and no longer use the TV.Lap top has died whilst in the UK.
What would people recommend for a replacement ? I basically only use for web browsing, you tube, emails,occasional translating .Been using windows 10 on old one.
What is the difference between a lap top on android/windows & a chrome book?
Only thing fixed is that it must have a Spanish keyboard.
Thanks in advance
Another thumbs upI have specified the laptops for our club for a few years and have found the Asus Vivobooks to be great value and fast etc. Last one was £469 for an i5 16GB and 512GB SSD
Asus make great laptopsAnother thumbs upfor an ASUS VivoBook 16X Laptop, AMD Ryzen 7 Processor, 8GB RAM, 512GB . I've never had a lap top boot up so quickly, it boots up in less than 20 seconds from putting in my password. Very pleased with it
If it comes up as an available update you can just go ahead and do it. No need to wait until it's no longer supported and even then there is usually still a way to do it. They said the W10 update would not be free once w7 was out of support but it always was. Still is!Upgrade would have to be via media creation route currently?
Not sure they will give a Windows update route when support ends?

Originally, Microsoft had a spec list and and a requirement for a TPM module, but they dropped that when very few people upgraded to Windows 11.sure this said it was ok for 11?
Having looked it states mine cannot be done until I sort the TPM + the processor is not of the correct type?Originally, Microsoft had a spec list and and a requirement for a TPM module, but they dropped that when very few people upgraded to Windows 11.
If your Win 10 is 'official' (aka legal!), you should be able to download an official copy of win 11 if you can't directly update from settings.
I've upgraded my 10 year old desktop (which wasn't compatible) by creating the correct installer on a thumbdrive using (think it was ) media creator tool (it might have been RUFUS).
The only concern I have with yours is the 8Gb memory. That's a bit of a struggle when you start having processes that run all the time.
As for Win 11, I find it marginally faster on some things, but not significantly so.
(I run both Windows 10 and Windows 11 through an (Oracle) Virtualbox as guest on an Ubuntu Budgie system.
I swear windows 11 runs faster virtually, than on its separate partition! (Except for gaming and Photoshop, of course, which are significantly graphically intensive, so don't do well on virtualization)
It's not the processor. It's a separate hardware module on the motherboard to stop people using 'unpaid for' copies of win 11. (Theoretically, it's to maintain the integrity of the system- I mean, this is Windows were talking about!)Having looked it states mine cannot be done until I sort the TPM + the processor is not of the correct type?
We have galaxy tab 6 litesNot being techy, can anyone recommend a tablet? I'm happy with my Samsung Galaxy phone and have been looking at tablets but Samsung have so many versions it means nothing to me.Don't mind new or second hand and looked at CeX as suggested by Pukka they seem fine for what I need, watching films, Internet, photo storage, but no idea what I should look for. Any suggestions welcomed
