Laptop Advice

[Kat2016]

I'm looking for advice on a good laptop. I'm not the most tech-savvy and not exactly sure what I'm looking at!

I've been using a Dell Inspiron for the last 10 years and, while there isn't anything wrong with it, it's been great, but now it's SO slow and is a pain. I don't want something too fancy or expensive -- but I do work a lot on the laptop and need all the basic office programs etc. The main thing is I want relatively decent storage space and something fast (my current one freezes and takes ages to load pages), and a good guarantee.

I've used Dell and Acer in the past. Any advice would be much appreciated?

Thanks!

best bang for the buck increase in speed is fit an SSD (Solid state Drive) to your PC,
look just like a standard Hard drive (where the information is stored).
but you clone your data to it, and immediately you'll see a big improvement in speed,

visit any Matrix and ask for them to clone your Hard drive to SSD,
SSD can be brought anywhere and its usually quite straightforward process.
