Hello, im looking for a $300 laptop for a family member of mine. 

she only browses the web, youtube, facebook, skype, etc. very basic stuff and her 6 year old laptop died today so im looking for a replacement.

please no chrome books, as i dont think they can run skype. any version of windows will be fine

 

 

tl;dr: i need $300 windows laptop for basic usage.

 

edit: no amazon links please, i would prefer newegg

This is great for the price, for $430 you can get an Amd a10 even though it is a bit overbudget for you, it will last a lot longer
