Guys

Thanks for responding.

The PC will generally be used for surfing, watching movies.

So, are you generally agreed on the Lenovo M73?

Cheers

It's not bad, by any means as a base unit. The keyboard looks like a space-saver version with non-standard layouts for the PgUp PgDown keys, etc, and also a half-height Enter key which could be annoying. Easily fixed by buying a new keyboard of your choice.

You might want to **hear** the DVD drive running, as sometimes cheaper ones can be noisy and distracting if you're watching films on it. You may also want to get some decent speakers/screen if this is the main function.

Don't bother with their "cheap" McAfee package. Download the free BitDefender antivirus instead, or get their paid package for about £20, or even look at Kaspersky's on Amazon where you can get triple packs for £12.

Will you be installing Office to it - a new version, or do you have it elsewhere already?

You do not need to buy or install any third party antivirus software, as win. 10 comes with win. essentials antivirus free for 6 mths trial, then you can switch to free cloud based antivirus soft. such as "Panda" which I have used without infection for 7 or so yrs.
