My advice is that even if you hate Apple with a passion, tell your seniors and less tech savvy friends and family to get a Mac. Just to avoid this whole scenario. Unless you like being the “while your here could you look at my laptop” person of cause then just keep recommending buying the cheapest laptop on display running windows+pre installed brand crap ware.

- FunnyLookinHat 4y agoI think the same advice works for Chromebooks. Sure, you're still being "tracked" - but let's be honest, that's happening on the web for most users one way or another. In most cases, seniors need a consistent, reliable browser - and nothing else. That's not to say a $250 Chromebook is the solution, but a $500 one (equal to the value of the laptop in the story) would be exceptional compared to any Windows experience with the same hardware.
