Chromebook or thinkpad for someone who isn't very computer literate (my mom)
Caleb Turner
Joshua Butler
if she is not very computer literate - get her a tablet.
Carter Peterson
Neither. Get one of those "convertibles".
Asher Wilson
give her the easier one, designed for absolute internet newbies.
(or in other words, the chromebook)
Hunter Carter
the only concern I have is that she's used to windows so maybe chrome os/linux would actually be more confusing
Bentley Martinez
bump
Xavier Howard
Buy her a yoga
Parker Jones
too expensive
Aiden Lopez
Why not both? It's going to be on sale for $169.99 on Friday. I'm not sure if you need a sams club membership though.

I think it also has google play access right now in dev channel.
Levi Hernandez
buy her the chromebook, she "uses windows" but actually all she does is watch the BBC on a browser every night with a glass of wine.
Adrian Campbell
Chromebook. Don't let your retarded Linux fetishes get in the way of your mom's UX. It's the least you can do for living in her basement rent-free.
Grayson Ward
alright, so which chromebook do you recommend for under $400
Landon Diaz
Now Google comes into play :^)
Angel Gray
what
Luke Hall
that one chromebook thinkpad in the $400 range.
Juan Hill
bump
Isaac Gray
That one user. It's idiot proof, battery is almost 10 hours, has 4gbs of ram so it can handle several chrome tabs without shitting the bed.
Christian Reed
That means google it you retard.
Get her a tablet. Nexus 9 is about 200 dollarydoos. iPads are luddite-friendly, though expensive. Old people are like children, and they both love tablets

Definitely the Chromebook. The thing uses local storage encryption by default in case she ever loses the fucking thing (or it gets stolen) and the entire OS is basically built on program isolation and sandboxing.
She might still find a way to fuck things up, but it's the safest bet for tech illiterates.
Benjamin Gonzalez
Chromebook Thinkpad 13
Josiah Scott
Just get her an iPad.
Liam Bell
I don't plan on giving up my first born son to buy her an over priced piece of shit.
Cameron Lee
spending $200 on a Nexus 9 is retarded, it's a piece of shit. you can get a perfectly fine Chromebook for that price
Josiah Rogers
I use that one on the left because the school gives it to the students. Its the biggest piece of crap I have ever used period.
Nolan Hernandez
or
if she actually has to do some typing.
