Hi
I'm trying to source a laptop for my dad. His desktop is slowly dying and I'm looking into laptop possibilities before exploring other desktop options. It'll only be used for basic stuff, mainly browsing the web and looking at his photos, but I'd like it to be reasonably portable too (very much aware my list below will limit that, I just don't want an absolute brick of a laptop!)
Main things I am looking for in it are:
- ssd so it runs quickly for him, doesn't need to be big, just for the os really
- 1tb HDD for storage - he has a LOT of photos
- also a dvd drive as he has a lot more photos on cd
- a decent screen to look at the photos would be nice too
Don't want to spend loads, I'm thinking £500 absolute max, ideally around £400. I'm just struggling to find this combo online on a budget. Any suggestions out there on options?
Only other thought I've had is an external USB dvd drive will cut down on laptop requirements and therefore bulk.
Any advice welcome, thanks a lot!
