I5 512gb storage. Name brand (hp/intel/lenovo/etc) a plus. His monitor, which he likes, is vga output. So if it has vga, that's great. If not I'll direct him to a hdmi to vga adapter.

The new MSI Lunar Lake minis have a copilot button on front so if he gets confused, he can just press the button.

I buy all my PCs from deluxepcs.com
They are mostly refurbs that would work great for your parents needs. They have some mini's. Cheap and no bloat.
I probably buy 5-10 year from them for my office.

Unless they need to install any specific software, I recommend a Chromebook or Chromebox. My handicapped Mother-in-law called me almost non-stop needing help and asking questions about her Windows PC about 20 years. I bought her a Chromebook and drove 2000 miles round-trip and installed it and trained her how to use it. Since then I get almost zero issues and have retired as her personal computer support tech. I have replaced her Chromebook to a Chromebox a couple of times. On our next visit I will probably upgrade her Chromebox again to the latest version. Keeping her using a Chromebox is the best money I have ever spent on computers. I always get the latest ASUS brand and middle of the road with respect to CPU and RAM.

I like the Beelink line. Plenty of options and have one as my daily desktop. Can get good specs for $250-350

An old arse monitor with a VGA input? You realize that elderly parental units may highly, highly, benefit from even a FHD monitor, or a QHD ($170 at BB.) He may like a new monitor a ton better than his current. I don't even want to ask what resolution he's running it at.
