Some CoSo brainstorming and input requests needed. 🙏

My mil is wanting a laptop. Tbh it scares the shit out of me because she is not savvy in the ways of the internet and she will be on our home network. *sigh*
I totally understand why she wants one. I seen some inexpensive chromebooks out there and of course there are thousands of others.
Suggestions would be greatly appreciated for an 83 yr old who wants to surf the net. I will be the it chick so please help me keep my sanity 😁

If it's really just going to be a net browser, a Chromebook is a decent idea. The Acer Chromebooks are quite good; that's what they have us on at work.

@voltronic yes, mainly browsing and once I introduce her to you tube 🤯.
Any particular ones. She’ll be strictly wireless.

I'm not up on any specific models, the only Chromebooks I've ever used are the Acer ones they replace every couple years at work.

Just do a search for "best Chromebooks 2024" and get something under $500. Acer, Asus, Samsung, and Lenovo seem to be brands that are frequently recommended.

@voltronic @Faay I highly recommend Acer. I've had it for a couple of years, and it's marvy.

@LiberalLibrarian @Faay
It's nice to see how far they've come as a brand in terms of design and build quality.
