My parents are thinking about getting a new computer and suggested maybe a laptop.  I wondered if anyone had suggestions of what they considered the most suitable laptop for "older" people.

They are not that onto it when it comes to computers but are most used to Windows.  A big screen would be a plus I guess, but if the native res is too high, the writing might be a bit small for them?  I've never had much luck with the different settings to try and make the text etc bigger, but maybe it works better than I think?  Otherwise, running at a lower non native res is not really ideal for me, but probably they won't tell the difference.

They won't be doing much on it, so basic specs would be fine.  I just wondered if anyone else has had to do the same thing, and what they picked up, or any advice?
