This is for my Mum, she just does email, web, and spreadsheets. She never plays games, she just wants something simple and reliable that will last a long time.
I'm deciding between the two laptops below for her, no others, so please don't suggest anything else. Both have Sandy Bridge processors, but the cheaper one has a B940 which is about 2/3 the speed of the i3. That's irrelevant for Mum, so i'm really more interested in build quality.
Here are links to the two options, the E520
and the G570
.
