Laptop for mom

[CaptainThing]

Hey everyone, I'm looking for recommendations for a laptop for my mom for Christmas. She is currently using our old family laptop which I believe is a first or second gen MacBook pro. I've extended the life of that thing as far as I can, so now it's time to get her something new. She uses it mostly as a Facebook game machine. So it need to at least handle those flash heavy Facebook games. Also, I think she really liked the $50 amazon tablet I got her last year so looking for something that can also be used as a tablet. I was looking at the Acer Aspire R14 and the Lenovo Yoga 710, so if you have any experience with those feel free to comment. Thanks a bunch!

 

My budget is target is about $300 but my absolute max is $600

Here are the key features I'm looking for:

1920x1080 screen

Touch screen

2 in 1

fast i3 or i5

8gb of ram or at least an option to upgrade

 

things I'm willing to compromise on:

size

battery life

ports

track pad quality

I bought my mom a Asus TBook once. At first looks really really cool but then the poor screen makes my mom had to return it

The touch screen website scrolling was like a nightmare when things on screen would lag a bit

 

I would try and get a Flex4 (3 would be fine but it s 1366x768). It's a very nice convertible

Here's a refurbed on sale
