Build suggestion for office use.

[Annngel]

Hi guys,

My sister needs a PC for her work. What kind of configuration will be suitable for her? It doesn't matter if it's AMD or Intel CPU.

She's using it mainly for Microsoft Office and browsing the internet. It'll be great if the build is as economical as possible.

Thanks.

Nope not necessary. Just by office work and browsing an internet you dont need an i3. Even an ipad can do the work, whats more than just a celeron com as compared to ipad?
