Recommend a desktop replacement laptop

[punkster]

I’m getting a new laptop for my dad. He’s currently using my old MacBook Pro (2013) which he likes due to the large screen. I installed windows using bootcamp (he refuse to use any other os) but there’s too much troubleshooting so I would like to get a windows laptop this time round.

Screen size should be be and sharp enough for a senior (preferably 15’)

He doesn’t game but he has a habit of opening MANY tabs (up to 20-30 ) in chrome which needs a decent enough ram and processor. Other than that he uses it for video chat with his ex colleagues overseas.

Any good recommendations? Preferably below 1.5k - 2k max

This might be a decent alternative at $800 if you're willing to look at pre-owned; robust build quality, more than sufficient RAM and CPU horsepower

Open too many Tabs in Chrome.. try > Session Buddy

May consider 17" screen as bigger fonts &or zoom size may take more space.
Or 24 - 27 wide & curve screen monitor as external to watch video & browse.
Also consider "Anti-Glare LED-Backlit Display".
