GABAGHOOL

gabahgooll??? OVA HERE!!

stugatz

tell him to keep his old computer and install Linux on it

Take him for a walk in the Pine Barrens

If his budget is at least $500 I would probably help him pick out parts for a desktop or something. If he wanted a laptop I would recommend a good model of ThinkPad.

this is also a good option

My dad's been bugging me to help him find a 10" tablet that doesn't suck but isn't expensive either
I keep trying to convince him to get a laptop instead but he won't budge
Silly old man

Ask him what he plans to do with it and continue from there

looks like you didnt inherit your father's intelligence

Sky's the limit, seeing as you never spent a dime on child support, ASSHOLE.

My dad will very unlikely asked me advice about computer because he self had his own small computer company before.

Shut up you silly old man

How so?

Word to da wise. Rememba pearl harba!

Report him to the cops.

Ask him why on earth he's buying a computer instead of building one like he normally does.

>I'm getting old, dunno, just want something that just works

He doesn't need my help, he'd just buy a refurbished Thinkpad

Ask him for $1000 so I can buy him a good computer that he can read mail with at blazing fast speed. Buy him a computer for $500 and keep the rest.

But you've already got a laptop that does everything you need it to do.

Tell him go to best buy and get any i3 desktop with vga.

Depending on his needs, one of thinkpad T series laptops, if he wants to game try to sway him for a desktop, if not, bust

>ask dad what he intends to use it for
>assuming he just wants a facebook machine, ask if he'd prefer a smaller, more portable laptop (Thinkpad X220) or a slightly more powerful one (T410)
>buy a refurbished one on ebay for cheap
Optional freetard route:
>when it arrives, suggest trying linux (pointing out that it has fewer viruses, among other good points)
>if he's interested, boot up a simple distro (I'd pick Mint) from a USB drive and let him try using it to see what he thinks
>if he likes it, install it, if not, just let him use windows instead
