15" Laptop for mum

[pharme]

Hi, need help with the choice i have for the purposes:

1) for mum usage, ONLY to view movies on youtube and movie sites.
2) MUST be 15" due to sight issue
3) prefer Intel i3, if not pentium duo core
4) price range 700 or less

Been at SLS, spotted Lenovo G580 @ 699, Dell Inspiron 15 @ 699 also.

Do you have any in mind? Or you've spotted some favourites in the recent IT show?

thanks for any help.

try MSI CR61 2M or asus K55A

Personally prefer MSI CR61 2M as it's 4th Generation CPU and also easy access to Heatsink compartment. can DIY brush off the choke Dust after some time should the DUST block the fan airflow.

Hi TS have you decided on which laptop model to get for your mum?

I'm in the same situation as you right now, looking at laptops with 15" display. My mum wants the laptop to be fast too, and generally 1st thing comes to mind is SSD but there's just so little choices.
