Also ... there is a bit of problem about Excel. There is using Excel and then there is USING EXCEL. It is a very sophisticated program which actually supports it's own programming language and very, very complex macros. I had a friend who used to use it to program games - strange as that may sound! It can also be used for very sophisticated statistical analysis (ANOVA, Analysis of Covariance, Multiple Regression, etc. etc). Needless to say ... to use excel for those types of things has different optimal system requirements than to use it to do more straightforward tasks like adding columns of numbers, finding averages etc.. What level of excel do you expect to be using ... more kinda like bookkeeping type tasks?

Oh ... another good thing to know would be is your budget just for the laptop? Does the price of 'Microsoft Office' have to come out of this budget or do you already have the software and you just need a laptop to install it into?

Libre Office is free, it has to be said, but Eleni123 may have her own licenced copy of an earlier version of MS Office.
