Personally, I'd suggest something along the lines of buying a clearance/open box i3 laptop and swapping in a 120-250 GB SSD.

I'd love to suggest something like this:

But a 10 inch screen seems like a poor choice for parents.


This one seems to excel in all facets that your parents may need, but it's above your price point.

It's very light weight and it has an SSD and cannot be hot boxed by accident.


Another option IMO is look for open box i3 laptops for cheap and clone the HDD to SSD yourself. That's what I did for my parents.
Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I am capable enough to clone and replace drives.

Probably need to stick in the 14" range for familiarities sake, but they already have an ipad, the laptop needs to be a bit more robust than a chromebook or one of them fancy 2 in 1s
