...a decent laptop and printer set up.
Looking to replace an antique desktop set up with a someting a tad more modern, desktop is still running, (just), Windows XP :|. Yes I know, but as far as pooters go, my motto is, if it ain't broke.....Trouble is it's soooo sloooow now :-S Printer I bought at the same time as the desktop has finally shot it's last load of ink too.
As stated need a desktop replacement with the capability of a bit more portability, not going to be taking it out of the house so doesn't need great battery life, and I want it to be able to cope with light office duties, spreadsheets, invoices and the likes. Needs a decent sized screen for a myopic ol' git too. Don't start talking ******** about Ubunkum and other Linoleum please, I'll stick with Windoze, for better or worse.
Also need a printer for similar office duties, printing about 50 or so sheets/month recently.
Office software? Not to sure on that either..don't need all the bells and whistles of Microsoft 365 and not too impressed with subscriptions either. Will 'free' software be compatable with with old excel spreadsheets, ie..will I be able to just transfer 'em from old pooter to new laptop without formatting issues?
Price range for all up to 1K.
All and any advice welcomed.
