My father is wanting to purchase a new computer or laptop since his previous one broke and he doesn't know much about computers. He mostly uses them for email and watching videos on youtube. Never does any gaming and has zero desire to start gaming. he recently noticed that on Costco they have a Dell Inspiron 15 5575 (Ryzen 3 2200U, Vega 3) available for $600 and it has a 2 year warranty and only costs $600.00 CAD so he is interested in that.
I wanted to know what you guys think about the above laptop and if there would be any recommendations on something better. He also has a wireless mouse and keyboard but they malfunction quite often either due to him not wanting to charge them or maybe they are just acting up so he may need new ones.
Essentially since he likes buying from costco i'd like a list of good quality computers for old people and whether or not a laptop would be viable at his place. He also has cats so my worry is the laptop might get clogged up with cat hair which is why i would personally recommend a desktop. My father would be fine with a laptop or desktop as long as it is orderable from the costco.ca website or buyable from their local store. I can find out that information myself but i would just need a list of good brands to go after - also a good wireless mouse/keyboard.
Budget: about $600-800 CAD (Canadian dollars)
Resolution: any resolution is fine however he has a 4k TV so maybe something that works well with that.
