Recommend a laptop/tablet for an old person?
My mum who is 80 wants to get a laptop/tablet for internet usage but has never touched a computer in her life. Which one would you recommend? What specifications should I look out for? Lte/Wi-fi? Min RAM? SOS!

I would get her a laptop,most come with windows 8 which can be a big pain.So if it was me I would set it up for her.There's a program called start 8 from rocket dock that only cost $5 with it you can set up windows 8 to boot to desktop and have it just like windows 7.The other thing you need to do is sit down with her and show her how to go online.

Buy her lenovo YOGA 2-in-1 use and I think there is some out there having windows 7. Buy some thing that can be using windows 7 bec. 8 is using too mush app compalibilty and it's pain and if you can't the buy her that then something like windows surface or Dell 10 essentials makes it simple for her.
