4-5 hundred
Dad wants it to sit and go on the internet/e-mail etc nothing major no games or anything.

No tiny little macbook or some shit he'll break it.
Iso opinions from my nerdy friends.

If all he wants it for is internet/email he can get one for like 300...

see what they got. there pretty cheap usually, i got my acer from there and all my computer parts

Newegg is the place to go. Great customer service, plenty of selection, cheap and fast shipping. Read reviews for any laptops in the price range you're looking for, most of the cheap ones have dozens of reviews that'll give you a good feel for common issues with the laptop.

Out of everything on that site you buy an acer? I am disappoint.

Also why buy something for 500$ when you're only using it for the internet mang! Buy one for like 250 - 300 save your money, and buy a toothbrush.
