I have to get a laptop for my daughter, but I have no idea what to look out for, I don't know my way around.
What do I have to pay attention to when I buy one?
There are various comparison tests in different price ranges on the Internet. There are usually advantages, disadvantages and when the model is best suited. You can use it as a guide.
What can it cost, what should it be used for and what are the requirements (required memory, display, weight, battery life, special equipment)?
What's your budget?
It should cost up to 300 euro and is more for applications & (Word, Ecxel) + Windows 10.
300 euro
Take a look at this Asus
If a Chromebook (which is an adapted Android version on a laptop) is enough, I would recommend this one: https://www.idealo.de/...enovo.html The memory could possibly be a little scarce.
It gets more difficult under Windows. Possibly the one here: https://www.idealo.de/...-asus.html. However, I would rather go for the Chromebook.
The best thing to do, however, is to look around the used market.
