Well lads the laptop is dying,so today I spotted a nice one in pc world,went in to buy it then found out that they don't have word or office on and thats another £90 because they're all windows 8 android based.Now that aint happening,no way I'm paying another 90 quid on top,no the question is does anyone know a way around this problem,a free app or something.Basically all I want is something like ms word,just to do simple stuff,nothing fancy.If I can't get something sorted then I'm screwed.Help

or just get it off the Torrents, I'm sure MicroGarbage can afford it.
It's what I do!

'Google Docs' is another option and free! Not sure if suitable for requirements though!

if it is the battery going a replica one can be had cheap for most except some gaming laptops

Dont get an imitation battery. Get an official one. Just bought a different make for mine. Worked for one day...then screwed my whole lappy up

? that seems a little strange.

a lot of older laptop batteries are just loads of cells soldered together and no pcb etc.

as long as you buy from a reputable company it should be ok (quite often its better to buy a new laptop if you can afford it)

£400 will get you a very good laptop that will last years, dont spend too much more because when the batteries go a genuine from some brands can be £60-100
