Hey, hey,

I am looking at a desktop for the little one for Xmas (9 years old). He is getting homework that involves the internet and i am getting kicked off the family pc!!

Looking at about £300 and he needs it for, homework and minecraft!!

OS - 7 or 8? Rceommendations?

Needs Word, Powerpoint, Excel etc

Now, i am military and a student (Distance learner) does either get me a discount anywhere?

Thanks and fingers crossed someone can help!

wow! that's quite a bit of machine for the cash!

But £300 was the top end of my budget (he will be getting other stuff as well)

Will keep looking...............
 
Would a tablet suffice for internet browsing? Or maybe a laptop as that will handle Minecraft as well.

All in for £300 is difficult to create that will be decent, especially when the OS takes up 1/3 of the budget.
 
i want a desktop to set up in his room so he can do his homework / minecraft in peace and quiet.

He also wants to do a bit of programming and understands that it isn't a gaming pc he will be getting!!
