It sounds like an Air would be fine, but she might want to also consider a Chromebook.

- puranjay 10y agoThanks, hadn't thought of that. She actually has a Nexus and isn't really tied into the Apple ecosystem so this might actually be a good idea
- kps 10y agoIf she has favourite or familiar Android apps, the list of Chromebooks that can run them may be valuable: https://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/chrome-os-systems-supporting-android-apps https://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/chrome-os-systems-suppo... (disclaimer: I used to work on chromebook software)
- keithpeter 10y agohttps://www.neverware.com https://www.neverware.com You could (both) try out ChromeOS on a Windows laptop before traipsing down to the shop to test keyboards. Needs an 8Gb USB stick that you can erase.
- puranjay 10y agoThis is great. Thanks for sharing. I'm downloading it right now and taking it out for a spin on my computer first. Never used ChromeOS before!
- keithpeter 10y agoYou can dd the bin file to a USB stick (bin file is 5Gb so 8Gb stick needed) and just run a 'live' session without installing. Watch out for the installer screens when you boot from the stick!! I used the product for the same reason: to see what ChromeOS was like.
