Hi guys,
Looking for a laptop for my sister for around $500.
It is for light tasks, primarily internet browsing (online shopping, facebook, youtube, email), watching videos/movies and Photoshop for simple photo editing.
Must have at least 14" screen, though 15" is optimal. Also at this size, does a 720p res screen look good?
Since it will be used most at home, weight and battery life are not huge concerns.
Small SSD is preferred over large storage.
Any suggestions or product recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
refurbed Dell Inspiron 15. Check the Dell Outlet. There are heaps of them currently.

i recommend DFO-2645167IP (use CTRL F to search for this) as that's Core i5 for less than $460 but really a Core i3 will be sufficient for a lot of users ($399). Photoshoppers may want the Core i5.
SSD— buy this yourself and self install. You will not find ssd's in mainstream low cost laptops usually.
Inspirons are very hum-ho laptops, but so are many laptops in the $500 range. There's the Toshiba C50 if Inspirons aren't your thing, but the $450 models are using Celerons.
