    Wouldn't a tablet be a better option for media consumption?

    • My parent is prefer something they touch and control than tablet or phone.

    Do you need a monitor, mouse & keyboard as well? I think than your only option is a complete secondhand system.
    Otherwise a refurbished Dell OptiPlex SFF 9020 for $165. Add at least some RAM and maybe a cheap SSD.
    [edit] +1 for a tablet

    • Hello do you have direct link of Dell ? What RAM/ SSD should I look for ? I am looking for stable machine. Thank you

      • On eBay now: Dell Optiplex 9020 SFF Intel i5 3.3GHz 240GB SSD Win10 8GB RAM 64Bit PC Desktop for $219. Seller "Salez".
        Comes with SSD, enough memory and AMD graphics. With Intel graphics it's $199 but I wont recommend that as I think it's not very powerful and shares (eats away) the 8Gb of main memory.

        I'm typing this on a 9010 SFF. Has been a perfect little machine for the last 2 years.
