If it had Office there permanently I would buy it, but it's just a 1 year subscription, so after you have typed loads of documents and spreadsheets etc you will have to pay just to be able to still read tbem

I'm pretty sure Your documents are viewable after the subscription ends. Anyway. It's not actually a bad deal. At the end of the free period you can pay £3.99 a month for an office suite including access PowerPoint excel word and outlook that is constantly updated. So if word 2016 comes out you will be updated to that automatically etc.

My QVC Year Res is never to buy anything that guy flogs.He blags his way through demos and try contacting him about either a rubbish product that he was pushing or a problematic one.See if you hear from him
I think he's full of it myself

 

[louise66]

To be fair, he has always replied to me, whether I have a problem or not.

Fortunately I am a techno phobe so can't buy anything like this off the Telly ,I have to have it explained to me in very simple terms before I can make a decision !!....I got my Bose from Q though some years ago and it's been fantastic........Not really a comparison I know.......

The Bose guest is another that does my head in, I jump on my off switch as soon as he appear...:headbang:

I also am a technophobe but do fancy a laptop but would much rather have a good look at one on the DHS, and ask any questions I have, I did read some of the reviews of the tsv and it did not tempt me to buy, if anyone has any good recommendations for an easy to use laptop I would really appreciate it :mysmilie_504:

Have a look at chromebooks. If all you do is browse email etc and most things you do are web based they are perfect. Google docs is also very good and the basic equivalent of office

Many thanks Kyresa, I shall have a look at those, x
