New laptop for my parents (uk)

[404-USER-NOT-FOUND-ERROR]

So I done research on this and I found a great deal for a laptop, which was a laptop with a 960m and an i7 for only £400, but then it got cancelled a few days after ordering so I am for a search of a new one,

I want them to buy a laptop with 8 gig of ram, an average-low GPU, and a CPU similar to their current one (i5 3317U) and a screen that is 15 inch or bigger. They don't mind if the laptop is used as long as it is in a decent condition and they prefer it to be £600 or lower (preferably under 600).

 

PS: sound quality,keyboard and touchpad and quality doesn't matter.

Yes. But that iGPU is more powerful than a 930M and unless you want to game, it's more than enough

930Ms are really well known for their good performance, aren't they

Wow, good for them. My parents wouldn't even try any games at all.

I'd avoid it honestly. If it doesn't have warranty then I wouldn't spend that kind of money on hardware you won't need.

But it is a great deal!

Which may die within a week...

His parents don't need a *70M GPU for FTL... - it's just large, heavy and will have shit battery life.
