Would this one be suitable does anyoneone think.
Or if not, could anyone suggest something different.

We were going to buy our younger child (15yrs) a new Pc also and again budget no more than €500.
And then we have budgeted to buy the micrsoft office software, so that they could both have excell, word, powerpoint etc.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
