Looking for laptop for dad

[Virtual01]

My dad just told me he is in the market for a new laptop. His minimum requirements are a 128GB SSD, i3 CPU, and 6GB of RAM. His only other requirement is that the trackpad must be dead center on the computer and it must have dedicated clicker buttons. He doesn't like the offset ones or the ones that have no real buttons.

 

He is convinced that he can get something like this for 500-600 USD, I told him he was out of his mind. A quick search on newegg confirms that the absolute minimum he would be paying for a system like this would be around 700 USD, especially since laptops with SSDs in them usually come with an i5 at least, and usually 8GB of RAM. I just want to make sure I'm not missing anything here as obviously newegg isn't the only place online that sells laptops, I just don't know any other good ones.

you could always buy a laptop and a ssd seperated and then swap them.

 

Also some sites:

 

NCIX: http://www.ncix.com/

Costco (I think it needs membership) : http://www.costco.com/

Best Buy: http://www.bestbuy.com/

Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/gw/ajax/s.html

I would say away from toshiba, They like to install their own shitty softwear to control the pc hardwear. Had a friends laptop who upgraded from win 7 to windows 10 and toshiba requires their softwear to control the fn enable/disable. It wont let him type a single thing without holding the FN key. Also from what my friends own they dont last long. I personnaly like HP but their batterys kills in 1 year. I recommanded a Dell to a friend and she had better luck then a lot of people with or laptop. She owns it for over 5 year and it still works with no problems.
