Hey all,
I want to give my father a laptop as a gift for father's day. I never owned a laptop and obviously never bought one. I started looking into and there are way too many of them
I would love to have some suggestions. Here are the criteria
I think that's about it. Thank you for your time and any suggestions is appreciated!
I want to give my father a laptop as a gift for father's day. I never owned a laptop and obviously never bought one. I started looking into and there are way too many of them
I would love to have some suggestions. Here are the criteria
- 15.6'' screen (Low resolution would be good since he will otherwise reduce the resolution to see better. He is stubborn and doesn't want glasses even if he is 63 )
- 500 GB hard drive
- DVD burner
- LAN connection and WiFi
- Not too heavy (he goes to work in bicycle and will take it with him in his backpack)
- Core 2 Duo would be enough (more is always better)
- Battery power of 4 hours or more
- Graphic card: Need to be able to watch youtube and video from camcorder . So, not an integrated video card. I don't think he will start gaming anytime soon
- VGA or DVI output
- He will use it mostly for Outlook, Word, Excel and internet.
- Not a Dell
- Edit: Budget around 800$
I think that's about it. Thank you for your time and any suggestions is appreciated!
