My parents need a new laptop and I'm seeking advice on a basic system for them. They would like to spend no more than $450 on the purchase unless there's a compelling reason to spend more.
Here's what they are looking for in a laptop and what they usually do with it:
- Watch basic videos on the Internet (mainly YouTube)
- Read the news
- Do basic word processing
- Prefer something with a bright widescreen 15"
- Would prefer something that is not extremely heavy, but this is not a deal-breaker
I am looking at Lenovo's G575, which has 4 GB RAM and a 320 GB hard drive. They cannot wait until the summer for Windows 8, so they need to purchase a system now. Link
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Also, if anyone knows about the video playback quality of the Lenovo G575, I'd love to hear details.
