If your parents aren't big on saving pictures or downloading a bunch of stuff online... you might not even need the HDD. I would get the 120 SSD minimum and maybe nothing further if literally all they will use it for is to do internet things and not download / install anything. The 480-512 SSD instead of 120 and no HDD is a good option to give them some additional space for apps to run fast, but not recommended if they will just store photos/videos on it.

Honestly just go get them a $300 laptop on sale from somewhere that has at least 8gb ram and an SSD.
