If the budget is your main concern, Chromebook is a good choice.
Chromebook is a laptop made by Google, and the price tag is around $200. The interface looks almost like our good old friend Windows XP, and most of the documents and photos will be stored at the Google Cloud, and users don’t need to worry about losing them. However, be aware that it doesn’t have the DVD player on it, and it is not that good in photos and video editing.

If you like to watch movies, or read e-books, this one is a good choice. Made by Amazon, this means you can subscribe to Amazon Prime to watch unlimited movies, and read many books all for $99 annually. (For real, don't get this one, unless you watch movies a lot, or share with your kids and grandkids.)
You might notice the Windows 8 tablet is not suggested at this post, because the interface is not user-friendly enough, and also has the rumor about the interface overhaul for Windows 9 in 2015. It’s just not good for people of my parents' age.
