Folks, I’ve had enough of my kids not looking after stuff. Took a £1200 MacBook Pro into Apple today to be told it has suffered liquid damage. Cost to repair £750. That’s out of the question so I’m on the look out for two simple laptops that can be used for schoolwork.
Saw these on amazon and my first thoughts are they are good value and seem almost too good to be true for the money.

At this money I’d used them as a doorstop if they break down. I’ve had a seriously expensive desktop that I was sold on the basis “it’s upgradeable and quality” but things move on so fast these days who actually updates hardware? I’ve had two MacBook Air that have been flawless (one new and one bought on this forum). The MacBook Pro was new and guess what it was “upgradeable and quality” which isn’t much use when it’s not looked after.
I have considered a chalk and slate but with school looking like it may not be the same again I’m going to have to concede that laptops are required.
So, for those in the know, are these machines suitable for word PowerPoint etc for homework and of course surfing the net?
