Cheap Computer from Futureshop?
Posted by: Nebuchadnezzar on September 11th, 2011 @ 1:05AM
Futureshop is an electronics store in Canada. Can anyone recommend some cheap laptop to buy for my mom? All she'd ever do is:
Watch a DVD
email
Word Processor
View pictures
The best thing would be for me to buy it on their site and ship to her.

If you're willing to pay a bit more, Dell gives 24 hour tech support and a better warranty. Signum666 Marine September 11th, 2011 @ 9:10AM Registered: 2003-10-27 Location: Netherlands Posts: 492 I'd go for this:

Since she watches DVD's and views pictures I'd go for a 17" screen instead of the 15". You don't need an i3 or i5 for those tasks. Dual core is more then sufficient.

Might consider making sure the system has HDMI. Nebuchadnezzar The King September 11th, 2011 @ 8:27PM Registered: 2003-03-20 Location: Irvine, CA Posts: 3630 I guess we'll wait until the start of November to check again. She's going to see if someone else gets her a computer.
