Hi guys!

I'll be buying a laptop for my mother. 
It won't be used for gaming at all (ok, maybe solitaire ;)).
It'll be mainly used for Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint,...), checking email, Facebook, YouTube, browsing the web and some very light multitasking (all of these mentioned before).

I'm from Slovakia but the eshop it'll be bought in has got an english website too.
Here it is: https://www.alzashop.com/lenovo-ideapad-g50-80-black-d2417642.htm
The specs are pretty decent for that price imo. Every other laptop in that price range has got worse specs.

But of course my father had to complain about the looks, he likes the looks of this:
https://www.alza.sk/acer-aspire-v15-silver-d2368599.htm(sorry, no english website for this one)
The specs are significantly worse for the same price, 4GB of RAM, 500GB HDD, integrated graphics (even though I don't know how does the R5 M330 perform, I couldn't find any benchmarks).

Both would be a huge step up from her old Acer Extensa 5235 (Celeron, 1GB RAM, Intel GMA 4500).
And if you can, give me some feedback about these brands (Lenovo, Acer). I mostly heard good things about them.

I couldn't find any info about the display panel types in these notebooks, but I suspect TN.
That old Acer mentioned before has got very poor viewing angles, hope these ones don't.

These maybe? they even have a low.mid end GPU for a bit of gaming if you ever wanted too, decent brands etc 

 

the lenovos have a nice 1080p display etc

I won't be using it at all and I don't think my mother is secretly a gamer  :D .
The ASUS's got only an HD screen, would prefer 1080p.
Is the display on the Z50-75 the same as the G50-80? Because they got the same body too.
The FX-7500 performs slightly worse that the i5 5200U according to PassMark.
The integrated graphics + the R7 M260 maybe outperform the R5 M330 but nothing GPU hungry will be ran on that notebook.
