Hi all, need some recommendations for a laptop for my dad.
1. Brand - Any 2. Budget - <2.5k 3. Specs - SSD and 8gb ram. lightweight. Please no hybrid ssd also. 4. Size - <14 inch
I dont mind upgrading them myself but must be below the overall budget (as long as it doesn't break the warranty! Say 300 for both ssd and ram). I'm fine even with i3 processors as the bottleneck nowadays is usually the disk. Mostly will be used for web browsing, web games, video streaming.
