Hello folks I am relatively new here and I wanted to ask for your help.
I would like to get my mother a laptop computer to use for email and basic internet browsing. I am hoping to be under the $400 range, hopefully even much cheaper since her requirements are very low, and I am pretty poor.
Does anyone have for sale, or could anyone steer me toward a good basic windows based laptop?
Preffered requirments:
Does not need to be new, and from my limited knowledge I think if it is older, an XP would be better than Vista (I heard Vista is a bit troublesome, but I don't really know)
She will not need much storage or graphics power since she doesn't listen to music much and certainly is not a gammer.
It really would only be used for browsing and email and some family pictures.
Her eyesight is not the best anymore so a screen on the larger size would be nice if it is not too cost prohibitive.
Thank you for you advice in advance. I hope to introduce her to a whole new world she is not familiar with and see her joy in learning that she can actually use a computer and have fun. Could be a tall task since she is a very sweet old woman that still fears if she pushes the wrong button on the TV remote something could break or the TV might burst into flames
