[quote=Anonymous]Ds is 12 and in 7th grade. We are a Mac family and I haven’t had a pc in 20 years, so I’m clueless. Dh and I were agreeing that although his school doesn’t have any requirements for home devices, it’s probably time for us to get him a pc for homework. I’m tired of him using my Mac, and being rough with it, and moreover a lot of apps don’t work exactly right on Mac. He’s also started some games in the last couple years.

For school, he accesses everything through a cloud interface. But I’d like him to have windows and office directly on the device so he can access the better features of the real software. I don’t need something fancy for gaming, but I’d like a powerful enough machine that it can handle run of the mill gaming without too much trouble. He doesn’t need to take it to school ever.

I hate to say, but with computers being so cheap now, I don’t really care about cost. I just want a decent quality computer that can last a few years and grow with his needs before we replace it. But I don’t need to overpay either.

Does pretty much anything work for this? I’m so confused because pcs start at like $150 and go higher, and I’m trying to figure out the differences and if it matters. When you buy a Mac, they all do everything - it’s just a matter of picking color, screen size, memory and storage. But I’m guessing there are a lot more variations in pcs. Appreciate any advice!![/quote]
