I need recommendations for laptops under $200. No heavy everyday usage, more like an hour or two each day for Word, Excel and some email. Some picture storage. I am looking at the lenovo ideapad 100s, and HP stream 11,buy I'll take any other suggestions. I don't think these two are compatible with microsoft word D, but I could be wrong.

check out the toshiba c55 series ... when they are on sale they are just above your price range - I think closer to $229-39 ... otherwise they sell for about $379

I just bought dd a computer from frys.com.For $173. I dont remember the specifics. It was an HP. She needed it for H.S. work.
They are having great deals now for the holidays. It pays to check their site.

afaik HP stream is more of a chromebook than a real laptop, though I could be wrong.
I am not fond of Lenovo Ideapad series.
If you go for Office 365, the web-based platform, then it doesn't matter if you can't install it unless you will not have internet access - not sure if 365 offers offline support as Google docs etc does.
