Hi all, I'm looking for a laptop for my in-laws for basic web browsing and the odd zoom call. I want it to be as low maintenance as possible as I do all the tech support. I'm a bit out of touch on CPUs when buying a new machine. I can pretty much work out the rest. Anyone seen any good deals? Thanks!
What is your budget? max £600 but closer to £500 if possible
What size laptop do you want? Ideally 15" but no smaller than 14". They have an old Dell machine of mine running linux 13", but it's a touch too small and too high maintenance for them
Do you have resolution requirements? Not overly important
Do you prefer a matte or glossy (reflective) screen? Not fussed
What will you be using the laptop for? Internet browsing, zoom, basic word processing
If you will be gaming, what games do you need to play? N/A
How long does the battery need to last? Not overly fussy
Does it need to be portable? Not overly fussed
Do you require Blu-Ray? No
Do you require HDMI output? No
Do you have a preferred brand? Not really but prefer larger brands such as Asus
Are there brands you would prefer to avoid? Chinese brands
Would you be happy with a refurbished laptop? No
Any other details you feel necessary... I want this to last for the in-laws as they never upgrade. So decent level of CPU and minimum 8Gb RAM. I think minimum 256gb SSD. Needs a decent webcam.
