Laptop help, by HRE on Jun 2, 2014 9:47:01 GMT 1, I was wondering if you could point me in the right direction with some help buying a laptop for the girlfriends parents.
I am a apple fan boy so don't pay much attention to PC's but this is what they want, it has to have a camera built in for Skype and will be used for the internet predominantly they like to store films on the laptop. (this was my brief)
Budget is around ยฃ300 can anyone point me in the right direction or makes not to touch.
appreciate any help
Henry

For someone like that, a Chromebook might be perfect?
www.google.com/intl/en_uk/chrome/devices/chromebooks.html
Not too much scope for messing it up either and fits in to your budget.
Pefrect for browsing and Skype, its very web based and doesnt have a hard drive, but you could convince them to use Netflix and the likes instead?
Parents can make a mess of PC's too much, this is always a safe bet.

Laptop help, by HRE on Jun 2, 2014 16:21:59 GMT 1, Thanks for that I have looked at Chromebook but what puts me off is the lack of HD space I know thats the point as everything is in the cloud but for the parents I still think they find it hard to comprohend that it is not on there computer.

I know what cloud is too, dont use though as I dont trust the bastard.
I would say your parents are holding out for the top of the range, anything else and its sulk city.

The in-laws are not that old but they do like to store all there videos/music etc on the laptop. Maybe they are just waiting for me to buy them a laptop. I know my next trip up to see them will be the inevitable how do I do this and how do I do that. ha ha I can not wait.
