I built my father-in-law a desktop PC see years ago with Windows XP. The PSU died and of course instead of calling me he bought a $1,200 Windows 8 desktop with touch screen.
His wife has no clue how to use the machine thanks to the Windows 8 GUI. He asked me about a $300 Chrome Book but I don't think it's a good choice. So I have a $300 budget and need a 15" laptop that will work flawlessly with Linux Mint 15.
Does anyone have suggestions? I want to stay away from AMD as I have had issues in the past. This is for a 60yo female that just discovered Facebook.
BTW I also think it's screwed up that he spent $1, 200 on himself but only $300 on her.
