I did see today a LENOVO C440 21.5" All-in-One
That is quite reasonable for the quality/spec at £550 or less Is this more what you are looking for? Yes, I had a chat with him yesterday and he decided to ditch the giant tablet idea, I think his other half more or less decided for him We decided, that this one would do the job, it have a I3 processor, enough hard drive and ram.It even have a DVD drive. I am not sure what they I5 is cheaper than the I3, it have less ram, but ram is cheap these days. Anyway, he ordered it yesterday. I think they made the better choice and his OH seems happier with the idea. I told them if it goes wrong, I want nothing to do with it as it is just like a oversized laptop ![]() It is powerful enough and should last them for a few years before they need to update again. Thanks people for all your help. |

Looks nice
Lenovo is a good choice. I have used, rolled out and supported plenty of their Thinkpads and Servers over many years. That model can have the memory upgraded, but 4gb is plenty for what they are doing. It will certainly be reliable and Lenovo offer a decent guarantee and support. Are you going to teach them how to use Windows 8?

I think you've made a good choice there. It looks nice as well as having a good spec.

I think the specs are fine and will do what they want, but now he wants a tablet for himself ![]() His OH told him he can get a tesco value one as a joke, not realising that Tesco have now got a tablet on sale. I am leaving that to them. Quote:

it is no good me teaching them how to use windows 8 as i go straight into the desktop. Quote:

You could always download Classic Shell which overlays Windows 8 with a Windows 7 interface. I'm sure there are other similar programs you could use.

The i3 is a third party seller chancing their arm by trying to sell it at a vastly inflated price. Not a fan of these all-in-one systems myself but it looks decent enough.

The i5 version is sold direct by Amazon.

One of the reason I stay away from tablets, apart from the fact their Os is pretty limited, even if some people on here do use them for different things. you got them and you can't really add to them or update them. you are stuck with the processor and memory and a lot you can't even update the storage. |

Yep.
Which is why I prefer to have (at least) one each of pretty much everything!
