Hi,

Does anyone have a good suggestion for a laptop for mom? I am having trouble finding a sub $300 laptop (they're all netbooks)

I need:
At least 13-14" or higher screen size, easier on their eyes.
Built in webcam for skype and stuff
Wifi a plus
Doesn't have to be very fast, just need a basic laptop for browsing.

Thank u
