Computers for (non-techie) parent
My mom's computer is crapping out. We got it for her 3-5years ago, I guess. I'm trying to think of what would be the right sort of replacement (for us to gift her.)
She uses it for:
- Word processing
- Picture management (like getting pics in an email and printing or maybe transferring to her e-frame)
- Web cam/Skype
I don't know if a full blown desktop is her best bet. I can't imagine a tablet would suit her needs, and I think a laptop or netbook would be a bit small in the keyboard. So I guess it'll have to be a desktop. Poo. And for what she uses it for (and with her lack of techie-ness), an Apple product isn't worth it. I'm just tired of it crapping out after a few years. (One of the main reasons I switched myself to Macs.)
Any thoughts?
Re: Computers for (non-techie) parent
I have a Sony Vaio laptop and the keyboard is the same size as a desktop keyboard (it just doesn't have that section on the right with the 10-key number setup). I've only had it two years, so I don't have any advice on the life of it.
