Hi

I am looking for a PC for nan. Is there any PC's for basic needs? E.g HP

She doesn't like Dell ones.

Just about any computer can do for basic needs, my 5½ years old P4 works wonder with basic needs.

It depends what your basic needs are, whether you want to build or buy prebuild and what your budget is.

I mean a up-to date one. Dual core processors.

Ya, any brand core 2 duo will do basic needs without any problems...

Are you looking for pre-built ? are you willing to build it yourself ?
What is your budget ?
Do you only need the computer or more (monitor, keyboard, speakers, mouse) ?
I assume basic is surfing the web, doing some basic stuff like Word, Excel.

Yes. I only need the base unit. What ever cheap PC there is.
