I am going to shift out of my native city after a few months now, and was thinking about getting a netbook/notebook for my parents.
Their tasks are basically mundane ones. Web browsing, word, power point, movies( at max 720p) , video chat etc : that almost sums it up.
I suppose a netbook can come good for that, but a screen size@ 1024x600 makes me think that excessive scrolling would have to be done.
I haven't used a netbook before, so I am not sure of what to expect from them. If there are cheap notebook options for such usage, then I would be game for them as well.
Please suggest some options for these requirements. Not looking to buy immediately, and can wait if the latest pinetrail are yet to launch(i suppose samsung has got the n450 models), or if ion models would be any good.
An option for 2GB RAM, and no OS ( I still have my college copy of win 7 ), would be great.
