I have been given a budget of £250 to buy a laptop. I keep hearing and reading that Linux will help me escape the microsoft/google matrix. But I may still need Word and Excel. You guys are smart so tell me: do I have a chance or am I being retarded? Would I need a techy guy to help set it up to reconfigure stuff or purchase software or is there an off-the-shelf option? Could I buy new or should I try eBay etc. Thanks fellas.

Edit - thanks for the replies

Odd, I never got a notification someone @'ted me. Guess it doesn't work the same here as it did on Voat.
