Hi Tom
I think that was me, although she is not my girlfriend.
She recently
bought a £400 Toshiba laptop from Tesco's direct. Its a
nice machine
and behaving well so far. I installed Libreoffice for
her tonight and
used it to open some .pptx and docx (2010/2007) files.
It opens them
virtually perfectly (unlike my older copy of open
office).
Roly :-)
One more thing Tom - The medion that I use was bought
as a desktop replacement and is only moved around very
rarely. The newer, cheaper laptops don't seem to be as
well made as the older, well known brand laptops that
are still going strong from 6+ years ago. I don't know
how well the medions would fare if they spent a lot of
time being moved around from one place to another.
