Time For A New Laptop?

[smurfchops]

I have an emachines laptop bought probably around seven eight years ago. I just use it for typing, selling on ebay and for storing photos and documents and backing up to a memory stick. Mainly anything to do with typing, cutting, pasting etc. Othereise I use my ipad. I have a compatible battery for the laptop bought around three years ago. I notice the battery box is getting very hot and taking much longer to charge, am I due for a new battery.... Or a new laptop? Can you recommend a basic laptop please if its time for me to buy one?

Hi Smurfchops.

Have you tried adding a keyboard to your ipad to see if you could live without entirely?

What sort of budget do you have?

Hi Ed, I use my laptop for saving photos to a memory stick, also for typing letters and print them. If I buy a keyboard for my iPad Mini, how would I type documents, save and print, and also save photos and documenta to a memory stick?

Unfortunately I can't recommend a brand or model, smurfchops, but from frustrated experience I'd suggest you avoid Lenovo.
I've had many a fraught time with mine, especially connectivity.
