I want to spend around $500-600 for a laptop for my parents. The laptop should have a 17.3" screen (1920x1080) with 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD.

I have narrowed down my choices to the following:

Here’s a few things to know about how my parents will use the laptop:

  • they will only browse the web and watch videos
  • the laptop will just sit on a table the whole time - they will never take the laptop with them anywhere
  • the laptop will stay plugged in all the time - it will never run off the battery
  • every other laptop and desktop PC my parents have ever had has been used for 9-12 years before they finally replaced it, so this laptop should be able to last 10 years

Which do you think would be better - the Acer or one of the HPs?
