Whats the best Windows laptop for under $500. Will be used for simple at home functions like internet browsing, email, picture storage, etc. No gaming or anything like that.

Based on your usage I'd just get a Chromebook for $200-$300 and call it a day. Google photos has unlimited free storage.

True to its name, budget laptops are designed to meet your budget, so manufacturers eliminate elements that are not critical, such as solid state drives. These cuts are not crippling to the laptop’s performance, however.
This is utter bullshite. While he may be fine with an old fashioned HDD for his use, they are absolutely a major performance bottleneck.

I just bought a Chromebook and I'm happy with it. I just wish I'd done it sooner.
